Residents cannot paint their own curb to create parking restrictions. Yellow-curb and no-parking markings on county roads are valid only where authorized by the Department of Transportation and Development, and parking against an authorized yellow curb violates Code 7.01.020(E).
Curb color enforcement in unincorporated Clackamas County is a DTD function, not a private one. Code 7.01.020(E) prohibits parking adjacent to any yellow curb 'where the Director of the Clackamas County Department of Transportation and Development, or designee, authorizes such curb,' and 7.01.020(D) treats no-parking signs and markings as enforceable only when DTD authorizes them. That means a curb a resident paints has no legal effect; only county-authorized markings restrict parking. Cities run their own curb-color programs inside city limits. To request a marking, contact county road concerns at 503-557-6391.
Parking citation for parking against a county-authorized yellow curb; unauthorized markings in the right-of-way are a Ch. 7.03 right-of-way violation.
