Waukesha County does not regulate curb painting or curb color markings — public streets and their curbs are controlled by the municipality or town. Only the local authority may paint or authorize red/yellow no-parking or fire-lane curb markings.
Painting curbs to designate no-parking, fire lanes, or loading zones on public streets is a function of the municipality that owns and maintains the street, not Waukesha County. In Wisconsin, official traffic markings must be placed by or under the authority having jurisdiction, following the state's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices adoption. Property owners may not paint public curbs themselves. On private property such as commercial lots in the unincorporated towns, striping and fire-lane markings are handled through the county site-plan and fire-code process rather than a standalone curb-painting ordinance. For any curb marking on a public street, contact your city, village, or town public works department.
Unauthorized painting of public curbs can be treated as defacing public property by the municipality; the county sets no curb-painting penalty.
