Johns Creek has no ordinance allowing residents to paint or mark public curbs; no-parking restrictions are established by the city through official signs and curb markings the Police Department enforces. Fire lanes are marked with yellow or red curb and signs, and handicapped spaces with blue paint and a sign.
Curb markings in Johns Creek are an official function, not a resident one. The Police Department's parking-enforcement policy (02-27) explains how curb and pavement markings communicate parking restrictions: fire lanes are marked with a yellow or red curb and warning signs, and handicapped spaces are marked with blue paint on the pavement bearing the international wheelchair symbol plus a sign prohibiting non-handicapped parking. Officers place particular emphasis on enforcing these properly marked fire lanes and handicapped spaces. Where parking is restricted along a roadway, O.C.G.A. 40-6-203 makes it unlawful to stop, stand, or park at any place where official signs prohibit it, and the Police Department enforces all no-parking zones designated by the city Code of Ordinances and by O.C.G.A. 40-6-202 and 40-6-203. There is no provision authorizing private property owners or residents to paint curbs in front of their homes to reserve or prohibit parking; doing so would be marking the public right-of-way without authority. Residents seeking parking restrictions on a street should work through the city rather than painting the curb themselves.
Painting or altering a public curb to reserve, prohibit, or designate parking is not authorized by city ordinance and amounts to marking the public right-of-way without permission. Parking in an officially marked fire lane (yellow/red curb) or handicapped space (blue paint and sign) is enforced by the Police Department, and parking contrary to any official sign violates O.C.G.A. 40-6-203.
