Residents may not paint curbs to reserve parking. In Pennsylvania, curb and pavement markings are official traffic-control devices that only the municipality (or PennDOT) may install; a homeowner-painted no-parking curb has no legal force.
Berks County does not regulate curb painting; this is governed by state traffic-control rules and municipal ordinance. Under Pennsylvania practice (PennDOT LTAP guidance), curb colors and pavement markings are official traffic-control devices that must be installed and approved by the municipality or PennDOT — they are not something a resident can paint themselves. Only municipally authorized markings (for example, a loading zone or fire lane) are enforceable. A homeowner who paints a curb yellow to keep others from parking has no authority to do so, and the marking can be treated as an unauthorized traffic-control device.
Unauthorized curb/pavement markings can be removed by the municipality; enforceable parking limits require official, municipally approved markings or signs.
