Chester County has no countywide curb-marking rule. Painted curb colors (red no-parking, yellow loading, etc.) and any resident curb-marking are controlled by your borough or township under the PA Vehicle Code. Do not paint a public curb without municipal approval.
Curb colors and pavement markings that regulate parking are the responsibility of the municipality that owns the street, or PennDOT on state routes—not Chester County. Under the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code and local ordinances, boroughs and townships establish and paint no-parking, fire-zone and loading curb markings, and unauthorized painting of a public curb is generally prohibited. There is no statewide uniform curb-color code in Pennsylvania, so meanings can vary by municipality; check your local parking or public-works department before relying on or altering any curb marking.
Painting or defacing a public curb without authorization can bring a municipal citation. Parking against an official no-parking or fire-zone curb marking draws local tickets and possible towing.
