Huntington Park, CA Parking Rules: Curb Color Rules (2026)

Section 4-7.1404 of the Huntington Park Municipal Code authorizes the Traffic Authority to place curb markings and, where the chapter requires it, directs it to. Red means no stopping, standing, or parking at any time, except that a bus can stop in a red zone marked or signed as a bus zone. Yellow means no stopping, standing, or parking between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. any day except Sundays and holidays, other than to load or unload passengers or materials, with passenger loading limited to three minutes and materials loading to 20 minutes. White allows only passenger loading, which cannot exceed three minutes, between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. except Sundays and holidays. In front of a hotel or apartment house, the white restriction applies at all times, and in front of a theater, hall, church, or other place of assembly it applies at all times except when that place is closed. Green means no standing or parking longer than 20 minutes between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. except Sundays and holidays.

Related sections fill in the details. Under § 4-7.1504(d), the Traffic Authority paints a red line stenciled with the words No standing in white, together with the words Bus zone, on the tops of curbs at bus zones. A bus zone cannot exceed fifty feet, and the Traffic Authority can extend one to no more than 125 feet on satisfactory evidence of necessity. Section 4-7.1506 adds that parking regulations can be indicated by curb markings as specified in Section 21458 of the California Vehicle Code.

Residents cannot paint their own curbs. Section 3-1.2303 makes it unlawful for any person, group of persons, or for-profit enterprise to paint a residential house number on a public curb, sidewalk, or driveway. Public agencies and public utilities are exempt, and a local non-profit organization can paint house numbers only with a permit from the Director of Community Development and the consent of the adjacent owner or occupant under § 3-1.2304. The application carries a $25 fee under § 3-1.2306.
