Erie County does not set curb-color or curb-marking parking rules. Painted-curb meanings and any restrictions on marking curbs are established by each town, city, and village and enforced with New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law.
New York does not rely on a statewide painted-curb color code the way some states do; instead, official parking restrictions come from posted signs and municipal parking codes rather than curb paint. In Erie County, whether a curb marking has legal effect, and whether a resident may paint a curb, is a matter for the town, city, or village that owns the street. State law under Vehicle and Traffic Law Sections 1201 and 1202 already prohibits parking in certain places, such as near fire hydrants and crosswalks, regardless of any paint. Erie County DPW maintains county roads but does not assign meanings to curb colors or authorize residents to paint public curbs. For local curb rules, contact your municipality.
Unauthorized marking of a public curb and parking violations near painted curbs are enforced by the municipality under its code and state V&T Law, not by Erie County.
