Residents may not paint curbs to reserve parking. Curb markings (red, yellow, no-parking) are official traffic-control devices installed only by the city; unauthorized curb painting or imitating a traffic-control device is prohibited under Greeley Municipal Code and Colorado state traffic law.
Curb color markings are traffic-control devices. Under Colorado's Model Traffic Code adopted by Greeley (Title 16), it is unlawful for a private party to place, paint or maintain any unauthorized sign, marking or device that purports to regulate traffic or parking, including painting a curb to imitate an official no-parking marking. Only the city, through Public Works/Traffic, installs and maintains curb markings and posted parking restrictions. Weld County does not authorize residents to paint or reserve public curb frontage in unincorporated areas either; the public right-of-way is not private. Homeowners wanting a marking should request it from the city, not paint it themselves.
Unauthorized curb painting or placing a false traffic marking is a code violation; the city removes the marking and the person may be cited. Reserving public curb space by painting has no legal effect.
