Curb-color meanings in the City of Maricopa are set by Municipal Code 10.10.120 (Curb markings). A red curb means no parking at any time (and may mark bus zones with signs); a yellow curb means freight loading/unloading only during posted hours. Curb markings are placed by the City, so private repainting of public curbs is not a self-help option.
Maricopa Municipal Code 10.10.120 (Curb markings) defines the official meaning of painted curbs on city streets. Where a curb is painted red, parking is prohibited in the area adjacent to the painted curb at all times; red curbs may also designate bus loading zones, but only when accompanied by appropriate signs, in which case bus loading and unloading is not prohibited. Where a curb is painted yellow, the adjacent space must be used exclusively by vehicles during the loading or unloading of freight during the hours designated by signs placed at one or both ends of the zone. Because these curb markings are official traffic-control devices installed and maintained by the City under Title 10, residents and businesses should not paint or alter public curbs themselves; requests for new curb markings or color changes go through the City. The curb-color rules work together with the prohibited-parking provisions of MCC 10.20.030 and the loading-zone framework in the same chapters.
Parking against a red curb (no-parking at all times) or misusing a yellow loading-zone curb is a parking violation enforced by the Maricopa Police Department under Title 10. Unauthorized painting or alteration of an official public curb marking interferes with a traffic-control device and is addressed through the City's traffic-control provisions.
