Full Breakdown
City Code § 20-53(a)(2) lists nine specific places where standing or parking, even momentarily except to load or unload a passenger, is banned throughout the incorporated city. Item i puts curb color squarely in that list: a vehicle may not stand or park along or adjacent to any curb the city has painted red or yellow, and the same clause bars parking across the delineated boundary lines of a marked public parking space. Painted curb color functions as an official traffic-control device under the chapter's definitions in section 20-51, which cover signs, signals, markings and devices placed by a public body to regulate or warn traffic, so a red or yellow curb carries the same legal weight as a posted no-parking sign even without text.
The same subsection groups painted-curb parking with parking in front of a driveway, within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant, within twenty feet of a crosswalk, within thirty feet of a railroad crossing, and in a marked fire lane. 00 depending on the violation category, with an unscheduled or catch-all violation defaulting to a warning on a first citation. 00 surcharge that funds the city's school crossing guard trust fund, and the total penalty doubles if it is not paid before the city mails a certified notice under Brevard County Code §§ 106-48 and 106-49.
A driver has ten days from the citation to pay the fine or request a hearing before a city traffic hearing officer under section 20-57.
Violations & Fines
Standing or parking along a red- or yellow-painted curb is a non-criminal civil infraction under section 20-55(a), not a crime. The fine follows the schedule printed in that section, plus a flat $10.00 surcharge on every ticket funding the school crossing guard program, and doubles if unpaid before a certified-mail notice. Each day the vehicle remains in violation is a separate offense, and a driver has ten days to pay or request a hearing under section 20-57.
