Curb and pavement markings that control parking are official traffic-control devices placed only by the City of Spartanburg or Spartanburg County. Residents may not paint curbs to reserve or restrict parking; drivers must obey the markings the government installs.
In the City of Spartanburg, all vehicles must be parked in accordance with the markings, lines, and signs placed or posted by the city (§ 40-191), and painted curb markings are official traffic-control devices under the code's definitions (§ 40-2). Only the city places them, so a resident cannot paint a curb to create a no-parking or reserved space. In unincorporated Spartanburg County, § 74-1 provides that parking markings, lines, and signs are placed only by authority of the governing body, and drivers must park in accordance with them. Unauthorized curb painting can be treated as defacing public property.
Ignoring official curb or lane markings is a parking violation; painting or altering a public curb without authority may be prosecuted as damaging or defacing public property.
