In Pico Rivera, painted curbs are established by the city council under Chapter 10.40: red curbs and areas at driveways or garage entrances mean no parking, and green curbs limit parking to twenty-four minutes during daytime hours.
Chapter 10.40, Stopping, Standing and Parking, governs curb markings, which are placed only where the city council authorizes them. It is unlawful to park or leave a vehicle standing in front of any garage or driveway entrance, or along any curb the council causes to be painted red or posts against parking. Green curb markings mean no standing or parking longer than twenty-four minutes between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on any day except Sunday and holidays, or Saturday if so marked, unless a council resolution says otherwise. Because curb colors and signs are set by council resolution, residents cannot lawfully paint their own curbs to reserve parking; only city-authorized markings are enforceable.
Parking along a red curb, in front of a driveway or garage entrance, or beyond the twenty-four-minute green-curb limit, or relying on unauthorized private curb paint, may result in a parking citation under Chapter 10.40.
