Kent County does not regulate curb painting on local streets; cities and townships install and control curb markings and the 'lawn extension' between curb and property line. Residents may not paint public curbs themselves, and parking on that terrace strip is often banned outright.
Curb color markings (no-parking, loading, handicapped) and any striping on public streets are placed and maintained by the municipality that owns the road, not by Kent County or by residents. Painting or altering a public curb without authorization is not permitted; only the city or township traffic authority may mark curbs. Related to curb areas, many Kent County communities regulate the 'lawn extension' — the public strip between the curb (or curb line) and your property line. East Grand Rapids Code Section 10.14, a representative example, prohibits driving upon, parking, or standing any vehicle in that strip, whether or not a sidewalk or curb is actually in place. If you want a curb marked or a red-zone reviewed, contact your
Unauthorized curb painting or altering traffic markings is a municipal violation. Parking on the lawn extension/terrace where prohibited (e.g. EGR Sec. 10.14) is a civil infraction ticketed by the city.
