The City-Parish sets no residential curb-painting ordinance authorizing property owners to paint curbs (e.g., house-number painting). Curb color markings and no-parking designations are official traffic-control devices installed by the City-Parish following the MUTCD; residents should not paint public curbs.
East Baton Rouge Parish's Traffic Code (Title 11) and Unified Development Code do not create a residential curb-painting permit or a color scheme that private owners may apply. Curb and pavement markings that designate no-parking areas, loading zones, or fire lanes are official traffic-control devices installed and maintained by the City-Parish Department of Transportation and Drainage under the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD, adopted by Louisiana). Unauthorized markings on a public curb or right-of-way are not recognized and can be treated as defacing public property. For house-number curb painting or any curb work in the right-of-way, contact the City-Parish before proceeding — there is no parish ordinance granting residents that right.
Painting or marking a public curb without authorization may be treated as an unpermitted encroachment or defacing of the public right-of-way, subject to abatement or citation.
