In Redondo Beach, only the city may paint or mark curbs to regulate parking; curb colors and their meaning are set by RBMC 3-7.1205. Painting, marking, or writing on curbstones is otherwise prohibited, except house numbers painted on curbs may be authorized by the City Council.
RBMC 3-7.1205 (Title 3, Chapter 7) gives the City Manager or designee authority to establish curb-color zones (red, white, yellow, green) and install the signs or markings that define where stopping or parking is unlawful; curb colors are official traffic-control markings. The Municipal Code separately prohibits painting, marking, or writing on public property, including curbs and curbstones, with a narrow exception that house numbers painted on curbs may be allowed when authorized by the City Council. Residents therefore cannot paint their own curb red to reserve a space; unauthorized curb markings carry no legal force and may be removed. Only markings installed by the city under RBMC 3-7.1205 are enforceable, and posted signs govern where they differ.
Painting or marking a public curb without authorization is a code violation; self-painted curb colors are unenforceable and may be removed. Only city-installed markings under RBMC 3-7.1205 are valid.
