Hamilton County does not paint or regulate colored curb markings. Red, yellow, or other painted curb zones are established and maintained by each city or village. Residents may not paint public curbs themselves; only the road authority may mark curbs.
Colored curb markings, such as red for no-parking or yellow for loading, are a municipal traffic-control function set by the city or village that owns the street, following the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (OMUTCD). Hamilton County does not adopt or paint curb markings countywide. On township and county roads, the county engineer handles road markings. A private resident painting a public curb is not authorized and could face a local code violation; house-number or address curb painting is regulated, if at all, by the local jurisdiction.
Unauthorized curb painting or ignoring a marked curb is enforced by the local municipal code. Marked no-parking curbs are enforced by local police or the Sheriff in townships.
