Lane County does not operate a colored-curb-zone system for its rural roads, and residents may not paint or mark county curbs or pavement themselves. Placing unauthorized markings, signs or objects in the road right-of-way is prohibited. Colored curb zones exist within cities under their municipal codes.
Colored curb marking (red, yellow, white zones) is a city traffic-engineering tool; Lane County's rural road system does not use a colored-curb parking scheme. Private parties cannot paint, alter or place markings, signs or obstructions in the county road right-of-way — those activities are among prohibited right-of-way activities enforced by Lane County Public Works, and unauthorized structures or paint can be removed at the responsible party's cost. Within Eugene, Springfield and other cities, painted curb zones and their meanings are established by municipal code and only the city may apply them.
Unauthorized painting or marking in the road right-of-way is a prohibited right-of-way activity; Lane County Public Works may remove it and bill the responsible party or impose civil penalties under LC Chapter 5.
