Lucas County has no countywide curb-marking rule, and Ohio does not codify curb colors statewide. Curb paint (red = no parking, yellow = loading, etc.) is applied and enforced by the city or township that owns the street; only official markings are legally binding.
Ohio's Revised Code does not assign statewide legal meanings to curb colors, and Lucas County paints no curbs. Curb markings are installed by each municipality's traffic authority under its local traffic ordinance and the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (OMUTCD), which cities and townships follow for consistency. In practice a curb marked and posted as a no-parking or restricted zone is enforceable through the local code and the general prohibition in ORC 4511.68 against parking where signs prohibit stopping. Residents may not paint public curbs themselves; unauthorized markings have no legal effect and can be a code violation.
Parking against an official curb marking is cited by the city or township (and ORC 4511.68 where signed). Painting a public curb without authority may itself violate local code.
