Chino Hills, CA Parking Rules: Curb Color Rules (2026)

Chino Hills does not maintain a separate local curb-color code; like all California cities it applies the statewide curb-marking standards in California Vehicle Code Section 21458. Under that section, a red curb means no stopping, standing, or parking at any time (except a bus stopping at a marked stop); a yellow curb designates a loading zone for loading or unloading passengers or freight for the posted time; a white curb is for loading or unloading passengers or depositing mail only; a green curb indicates a posted time limit for parking; and a blue curb is reserved for parking by disabled persons displaying a valid placard or plate. These colors carry legal force only when applied by the local authority, so private property owners and residents may not paint a public curb red or otherwise create their own parking restriction; doing so is not enforceable and may itself be a violation. Within the City of Chino Hills, curb markings are installed and maintained by the city's Public Works/Engineering function, and street parking is enforced on public streets by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department under the city's contract policing arrangement. The city's Development Code also includes clear-corner sight-visibility requirements at intersections and driveways (Section 16.34.045, referencing Section 16.06.080), which keep corner areas clear for visibility independent of curb paint.
