Summary

St. George paints curbs red to ban stopping, standing or parking entirely, at any time, reserving the space for emergency vehicles only.

“Red” shall mean no stopping, standing or parking at any time, except for the individual purposes of emergency vehicles.

2. “Yellow” with the words “restricted zone” stenciled thereon, shall mean no stopping, standing or parking except as stated on any accompanying signs or markings giving notice thereof, except that this provision shall not apply on Sundays and legal holidays. (Ord. 12-3-91, 12-19-1991)

Full Breakdown

The city engineer decides where painted curb zones go, and red is the strictest marking in the code: no stopping, standing or parking at any time, with the sole carve-out for emergency vehicles doing their job. That is a full-time, all-vehicle ban, unlike the yellow "restricted zone" curb, which only limits parking to certain hours and exempts Sundays and legal holidays. Once the city engineer places a sign or curb marking under this section, ignoring it is itself the violation.

Violations & Fines

General parking violations run $25, rising to $35 after 5 days and $45 after 10 days ($25/month penalty accrues thereafter); police may also relocate an illegally parked vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I stop briefly at a red curb in St. George to drop someone off?
No. Red curb bars stopping, standing and parking at all times except for emergency vehicles: even a quick drop-off violates it.
Is red curb different from yellow curb in St. George?
Yes. Yellow "restricted zone" curbs only limit parking during certain hours and don't apply Sundays/holidays; red applies around the clock with no day exceptions.
