Curb-marking colors and no-parking curb designations on public streets are set by municipalities and NJ Title 39 in Essex County. The county marks curbs only on its own park roads and facility lots.
Painted-curb meanings (no-parking, loading, fire zone) and any private curb-painting permission are governed by municipal ordinance and NJ Title 39 traffic rules; residents may not paint public curbs without municipal authorization. Essex County does not regulate curb painting on residential streets. Within county parks, the county controls signage and curb markings: no person may stand or park a vehicle where designated by signs, curb markings, or other posted "no parking" areas. Curb and space markings at the county courthouse and facilities are set and enforced by the county.
Parking against an official red or yellow curb is a Title 39 or municipal violation with fines of $25 to $100; unauthorized curb painting can bring a separate municipal penalty.
