Provo, UT Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

070(1) to cause curbs to be painted, lines to be painted, and signs to be erected on or near public streets to indicate where and how vehicles may park. Subsection (2) then defines what the colors mean: a red curb means no standing, stopping, or parking at any time, while a yellow curb means no stopping, standing, or parking except as stated on adjacent signs or for the purpose of temporary loading or unloading of passengers while the driver remains in the driver's place in the vehicle.

17, adopted specifically to decriminalize parking enforcement, and vehicles that create a hazard, such as blocking a driveway, can additionally be towed by a police, parking enforcement, or fire officer.
