Queen Creek, AZ Parking Rules: Curb Color Rules (2026)

Curb and pavement markings in Queen Creek are official traffic-control devices, not something residents may paint themselves. The Town's Chapter 11 (Traffic) provisions empower the Town's traffic authority to erect signs and markings requiring parking at an angle to the curb, allowing left-hand curb parking on one-way streets, designating no-parking, and otherwise restricting parking, stopping, and standing as necessary, and it is unlawful to stop or stand a vehicle in disobedience to such restrictions. On the enforcement side, Town Code Section 9-7-5 makes it unlawful to stop, stand, or park in any area designated as prohibiting stopping/standing/parking, in any designated fire lane, within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant, or in a marked school crossing zone. Section 9-7-9 sets the basic curb-parking position (right wheels within 18 inches of the curb) except as otherwise posted, so posted markings override the default. Because the markings are official, painting or altering curbs without Town authorization is not permitted, and removing or obscuring an official device is treated as interference with traffic control. Parking contrary to a painted or posted restriction is a civil traffic offense, and a vehicle may be towed at the owner's expense under Section 9-7-10.
