Yucaipa, CA Parking Rules: Curb Color Rules (2026)

Curb markings in the City of Yucaipa are an engineering decision, set out in Chapter 10.12 of the Yucaipa Municipal Code (Highways and Traffic, Ord. 212, 2001). The sections read for this page print no curb color scheme, so the code does not tie any paint color to a particular restriction. What it does print is who can mark a curb, where, and on what finding.

Section 10.12.030(A) authorizes the city engineer to prohibit stopping, standing or parking and to place signs or curb markings when a traffic engineering investigation shows the prohibition will alleviate dangerous or hazardous traffic conditions, facilitate the full use of the roadway, or serve the convenience of the public. The listed places are any place within one hundred (100) feet of the intersection of two or more highways; adjacent to either side of a crosswalk or driveway entrance for a distance not to exceed twenty (20) feet; adjacent to any fire hydrant where parking would present a special hazard or prevent ready access; and any place in connection with a street or highway vehicular parking layout or plan.

Subsection B works in reverse. When the city engineer, on the basis of a traffic engineering investigation, finds that the conditions behind a prohibition no longer exist, he or she shall remove the signs and curb markings from that portion of the street.

Longer or hour-specific restrictions run through the City Council. Under § 10.12.040(A), the council directs the city engineer by resolution to place signs or curb markings where stopping must be prohibited at all or certain hours of the day. The city engineer can post temporary no-parking signs for emergencies under § 10.12.040(C), and § 10.12.035 authorizes signs or markings indicating no parking in any alley or part of an alley.
