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

Kings County's curb-color legend in Code section 23-35 establishes on-street loading rules for the unincorporated area. Yellow curb means stopping only to load or unload passengers or freight, for a maximum of 30 minutes. White curb means stopping only to load or unload passengers, for a maximum of 10 minutes. Red means no stopping, standing, or parking at all, and green means time-limited parking up to 10 minutes. These colors are established by Board order under section 23-34, and where there is no curb the regulation must be posted on signs (sec. 23-36). A loading restriction is effective only where the curb is actually painted or signed. Separately, off-street loading and parking for new development in the unincorporated area is governed by the Kings County Development Code (Article 13, Off-Street Parking and Loading), administered by the Community Development Agency, which sets how many loading spaces and parking spaces a use must provide and their dimensions. So 'loading zones' in Kings County means both the on-street yellow/white curb time limits in the Code and the off-street loading facilities required by zoning at the project-review stage.
