Red curbs mean no stopping, standing, or parking at any time, except buses in marked bus zones and taxis in marked taxi zones. Yellow curbs prohibit stopping between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. (except Sundays and holidays) other than for loading: passenger loading is limited to five minutes and material loading to twenty minutes. White curbs allow stopping only as necessary to load or unload passengers or to deposit or pick up mail at an adjacent mailbox. Green curbs allow parking for the time limit posted on signs or stenciled on the curb.
