Florida Statute §316.1945 controls statewide parking restrictions, while Miami uses standard curb color codes (yellow no-stopping, red fire lane, blue ADA, white passenger loading) painted by city Public Works. Private curb painting on public right-of-way is prohibited without a permit.
Florida law gives municipalities authority to designate parking restrictions consistent with §316.1945. Miami applies standardized curb colors: red curbs mark fire hydrants and bus zones (no stopping), yellow indicates loading or temporary stopping limits, blue marks ADA accessible parking, and white denotes passenger pickup or short-term loading. Only the Miami Public Works Department may paint or repaint curbs on public right-of-way; residents who paint their own house numbers or no-parking warnings on public curbs commit defacement of public property under Miami Code Chapter 35 and may be fined and required to remove the paint at cost.
Unauthorized curb painting is a code violation with civil fines $250-$500 per linear foot, mandatory restoration at owner expense, and possible misdemeanor charge for defacement of public property under Miami Code §35; parking violations are separate.
