Eastvale, CA Parking Rules: Curb Color Rules (2026)

Curb-color meanings in Eastvale are governed by the loading-zone provision, EMC 10.20.080, which sets the standard California-style color code. Red means no stopping, standing, or parking at any time, except a bus may load or unload in a red zone marked for bus loading and a red taxi zone permits taxicabs. Yellow means no stopping, standing, or parking between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. except Sundays and holidays for any purpose other than loading or unloading (five minutes for passengers, 20 minutes for materials). White means no stopping except as needed to load or unload passengers or to handle mail at an adjacent mailbox. Green means parking is allowed only for the posted time limit. These curb markings and signs are established by the city council or its designee after an engineering study under EMC 10.20.080; the city, not private residents, installs and maintains official curb markings. Fire lanes are separately designated under EMC 10.20.200 by a posted sign, by outlining the area in red with contrasting 'FIRE LANE' lettering, or by a red curb marked with the words 'FIRE LANE,' and no vehicle may stop or park there. EMC 10.20.100 authorizes the city to place signs, and EMC 10.20.170(c) requires recreational-vehicle parking signs to comply with Vehicle Code 22507. Because curb painting is a city traffic-control function, residents should not paint or alter curbs themselves.
