Laguna Niguel enforces the standard California colored-curb system, with red, yellow, white, green, and blue curbs meaning no-parking, loading, passenger loading, time-limited, and disabled parking; only the city may lawfully paint regulatory curbs.
Curb-color meanings in Laguna Niguel follow California Vehicle Code 21458, applied through the city's traffic code. Red means no stopping, standing, or parking at any time (except a bus at a marked stop). Yellow is a loading zone for freight or passengers for the posted time. White is for loading passengers or mail only. Green designates limited-time parking as posted. Blue is reserved for a disabled person with a valid placard, protected under CVC 22507.8. Only markings installed or authorized by the City (or Caltrans on state routes) are enforceable; a resident may not paint a public curb to create a restriction, and right-of-way curb work needs an encroachment permit.
Parking against a red curb, or misusing a yellow, white, green, or blue curb contrary to CVC 21458 (and CVC 22507.8 for blue disabled spaces), is citable, with blue-curb violations carrying steep penalties. Self-painted public curbs are unenforceable.
