Indiana has no statewide painted-curb color code, and Hamilton County cities do not rely on curb paint. Parking limits come from posted signs and ordinances, not curb color. Fishers warns that curb painting is not a reliable indicator of whether parking is allowed.
Unlike some states, Indiana assigns no legal meaning to painted curb colors, and neither Hamilton County nor its cities enforce parking through a curb-color system. Fishers advises residents directly that curb painting is not a reliable indicator of whether parking is permitted, because not every no-parking area is painted. Parking restrictions in Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville are established by ordinance and communicated through posted signs, fire-lane markings and painted crosswalks, not by red or yellow curbs. Residents also may not paint public curbs themselves, since the curb and right-of-way are city property. Always follow posted signage rather than curb color.
Relying on curb color instead of signs does not excuse a violation; citations are issued based on the governing ordinance or sign.
