Tehama County, CA Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

The county's express loading-zone provision is Chapter 11.26, 'Bus Loading Zones.' Section 11.26.010 delegates to the Tehama County Transit Agency the responsibility to designate bus loading zones in the unincorporated area for loading and unloading passenger buses operating as commercial carriers, following the agency's bus-stop standards and procedures. Those zones must be approved by the Board of Supervisors pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 22500(i), and the Director of Public Works is authorized to paint red curbs and install bus-stop signs, benches and shelters; the cost is borne by the Transit Agency. Outside of designated bus loading zones, the county does not maintain a general network of commercial or passenger loading zones on rural roads; loading and standing on public roads otherwise follow the California Vehicle Code, including the prohibitions in Section 22500 and the local no-parking segments listed in Chapter 11.12. In the towns of Gerber and Los Molinos, on-street parking layouts (angle or parallel) are set by Chapter 11.12. Drivers should treat any red-painted curb as a no-stopping zone. For new or modified bus stops, the Transit Agency and Public Works are the responsible offices.
