Lima does not authorize residents to paint street curbs; curb colors and no-parking markings are set by the city. Yellow or marked curbs and Section 452.03 no-parking zones are enforced under the Traffic Code.
Curb markings in Lima are placed and maintained by the city, not by private residents; there is no ordinance letting homeowners paint the public curb to reserve parking. Yellow curbs and posted no-parking markings designate fire lanes, loading zones and other restricted areas enforced under Chapter 452. Section 452.03 additionally prohibits parking within intersections, on crosswalks, within twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection and within ten feet of a fire hydrant, regardless of paint. Painting or defacing public curbs or traffic markings can itself be a violation. Residents wanting a curb restriction should petition the Traffic Commission.
Ignoring a marked or yellow no-parking curb is ticketed under Chapter 452; unauthorized painting or defacing of public markings may draw a separate citation.
