Macomb County has no ordinance letting residents paint public curbs; curb-marking authority belongs to the road agency. On county roads that is the Macomb County Department of Roads (586-463-8671); on local streets, the city or township. State law MCL 257.674 makes official signs and markings enforceable.
Curb markings that restrict parking in Macomb County are controlled by the road agency, not residents. On county-maintained roads, markings are managed by the Macomb County Department of Roads (586-463-8671, 117 South Groesbeck Highway, Mount Clemens); on city and township streets, by the local unit. Under MCL 257.674(1)(n) and (w), a vehicle must not park where an official sign or marking prohibits or restricts it, so an authorized no-parking curb marking is enforceable. Residents cannot lawfully paint a public curb to reserve parking; that requires the road agency's authority, and unauthorized marking of the right-of-way can be treated as an encroachment handled by the Department of Roads or the local unit.
Ignoring an official curb marking is a civil infraction under MCL 257.674, enforced by local police or the Sheriff (the 42-1 District Court lists $25.00). Unauthorized painting of a public curb is a right-of-way encroachment, removed at the resident's cost.
