On county roads, painted curbs set parking rights under Traffic Ordinance Sec. 7200: red means no stopping, standing, or parking at any time; green allows 24 minutes (8 a.m.-6 p.m.); yellow is for loading; white is for brief passenger loading or mail. Only authorized curb markings made under ordinance or resolution are enforceable.
Curb colors on county-maintained roads in unincorporated Ventura County carry legal meaning under the Traffic Ordinance, Division 7, Chapter 1. Section 7200 (Parking restrictions) defines the curb-color scheme: in a red zone it is unlawful to stop, stand, or park at any time, except that buses may stop in a red zone also marked as a bus loading zone; in a green zone it is unlawful to park more than 24 minutes between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. except Sundays and holidays; in a yellow zone stopping, standing, or parking is limited to short loading periods (up to three minutes for passengers and up to two hours for freight, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.); and in a white zone, only brief stops (about three minutes) to load or unload passengers or deposit mail are allowed. Section 7220 (Prohibited parking) confirms that curb markings are enforceable when established by ordinance or resolution of the Board of Supervisors with proper signs or markings giving notice. Because these colors derive their force from the County ordinance and the Vehicle Code, private parties may not paint curbs to create their own restrictions; curb markings on county roads are placed by the County. The same color meanings broadly mirror California Vehicle Code curb-color conventions.
Parking against an official curb color in violation of its meaning (for example, stopping in a red zone, overstaying a green-zone 24-minute limit, or sitting in a yellow or white loading zone past the allowed time) is a parking violation under Sec. 7200/7220. Unauthorized painting of curbs by private parties is not an enforceable restriction.
