Lehigh County does not regulate curb markings. Curb paint and no-parking markings are official traffic-control devices installed by your municipality; residents may not paint curbs to reserve spaces, and unofficial markings have no legal effect.
This pass found no Lehigh County curb-painting ordinance and no specific Allentown section authorizing residents to paint curbs. In Pennsylvania, curb markings are official traffic-control devices governed by the Vehicle Code (75 Pa.C.S.) and PennDOT standards; only the municipality may install colored curb or no-parking markings, and Allentown enforces parking in prohibited areas under Chapter 615, §615-45. A curb painted by a resident carries no legal force and does not reserve a space, and applying paint to a public curb without authorization can be treated as damaging public property. If you believe a curb needs a marking (fire zone, loading, disabled), request it from your city or borough public works or the Allentown Parking Authority. The county has no role
Parking against an official painted/posted no-parking curb is enforced under §615-45; standard fines $15–$100 apply. Unauthorized curb painting may be handled as property damage.
