Curb markings and their meaning on public streets are controlled by each Milwaukee County municipality, not the county. Painting a public curb yourself is not authorized; only official markings are enforceable.
Colored curb markings that restrict parking on public streets in Milwaukee County are installed and defined by the individual cities and villages under their traffic codes and the local-authority power in Wis. Stat. 349.13. There is no county-wide curb-color ordinance, and Milwaukee County residents cannot paint or mark a public curb to reserve or restrict parking; only markings placed by the municipality carry legal force. Within Milwaukee County parks and on county-owned grounds, any painted curbs or striping are placed by the county for park operations. To request a fire-lane or no-parking curb marking on your street, contact your municipality's public works or traffic engineering office.
Parking against an official no-parking or fire-lane curb marking is ticketed by the municipality under its traffic code, with towing possible in fire lanes. Unauthorized curb painting by a resident is not recognized and may violate local rules.
