Georgetown controls where vehicles may stop, stand or park through posted signs and designated zones under Chapter 10.16 rather than a published color-coded curb-paint system. No-parking, limited-time, loading and accessible zones are established by city designation and marked with signage and curb markings.
Georgetown regulates curbside parking primarily through designated zones in the Code of Ordinances, Title 10, Chapter 10.16, and through posted signage rather than a publicly published statewide curb-color code. Under the chapter, the city establishes no-parking zones, limited-time zones (for example, under Section 10.16.020) and other restricted areas where vehicles may not stop, stand or park except as posted; downtown spaces are numbered and time-limited, and special-purpose spaces (accessible parking, loading zones, bus stops) are separately marked. The 2024 downtown ordinance expanded both three-hour limited zones and no-parking zones on parts of Sixth Street, South Main Street and Church Street, all communicated through signage and curb markings. Because Texas does not impose a uniform red/yellow/green curb-color statute, the controlling rule on any given block is the posted sign and the designated zone, not curb paint alone. Drivers should treat fire lanes, accessible spaces and loading zones as off-limits and obey posted limits. Where the city has not designated a restriction, general stopping-and-standing rules of the Texas Transportation Code apply.
Stopping or parking in a posted no-parking zone, fire lane, loading zone or accessible space is a violation enforced by parking ambassadors and police downtown and by Code Compliance elsewhere. Report concerns via askGTX or the non-emergency line at 512-930-3510.
