Escambia County, FL Parking Rules: Curb Color Rules (2026)

In the City of Pensacola, § 11-2-3 gives the director of public works and facilities the duty to plan, install and maintain traffic-control devices and direct parking on city streets, so a resident cannot paint a curb to create a no-parking or reserved space. In Escambia County, § 94-97 provides that fire or emergency lanes where parking is banned must be posted with a permanent sign or permanent painted pavement markings in red or yellow, meaning such markings are official and government-placed. Unauthorized curb painting is not enforceable and can be treated as defacing public property.
