Summary
Castle Rock does not have a residents' curb-painting ordinance; curb markings and parking-restriction signs are official traffic-control devices installed by the Town. Parking contrary to posted signs or official markings is unlawful under the adopted Model Traffic Code, and residents should not paint public curbs themselves.
At any place within the Town where authorized signs are posted giving notice of parking limitations, regulations, restrictions or prohibitions, it shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle in any manner in violation of, or contrary to, the provisions contained on such signs.
Full Breakdown
The Town controls curb markings and no-parking designations as official traffic-control devices; only authorized Town-installed signs and markings carry legal effect. Under Model Traffic Code Section 1204(3.5) (adopted at CRMC 10.04.010), it is unlawful to park contrary to authorized posted signs giving notice of parking limitations or prohibitions. There is no municipal code provision authorizing private property owners to paint address numbers or restrictions on public curbs; such requests go through Public Works. Unauthorized marking of public infrastructure can be treated as defacement of Town property.
Violations & Fines
Parking contrary to posted signs or official markings is a traffic infraction; parking fines double if unpaid within 15 days (CRMC 10.04.040.J). Unauthorized defacing of public property is separately enforceable.
