Summary
Moorpark requires any restricted or prohibited street parking to be marked with curb paint or signs before the restriction is enforceable, with the city engineer setting the locations, hours and days under Municipal Code Section 10.04.200.
It is unlawful to park, stop or leave standing any vehicle, trailer or camper, whether attended or unattended, on any street or part of a street, except as provided in this chapter. Such prohibited or restricted parking may apply to such vehicles, in such locations, during certain hours or days as determined by the city engineer; provided, however, such restrictions shall be designated by curb-painted markings or signs.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: rev 4978490; v10 updated 2026-07-01).
Full Breakdown
Section 10.04.200 makes it unlawful to park, stop or leave a vehicle standing on any street except as the code allows, and lets the city engineer restrict parking in specific locations, hours or days. Critically, the restriction is only valid once it is designated by curb-painted markings or signs: an unmarked curb carries no restriction. Different provisions elsewhere in Title 10 tie specific colors to specific rules: green for time-limited zones, yellow for loading, white for passenger loading, and red for bus zones and fire-hydrant clearances.
Violations & Fines
Parking, stopping or standing in a location the city engineer has restricted and marked with curb paint or signage is a citable violation under Section 10.04.200; unmarked curb cannot be cited under this section.
