Redlands, CA Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

The City of Redlands regulates loading and passenger-loading zones in Chapter 10.40 of its municipal code. Commercial loading zones are indicated by a yellow paint line stenciled with black letters 'LOADING ONLY' upon the top of all curbs within the zone. Passenger loading zones are indicated by appropriate signs or by a white line stenciled with black letters 'Passenger Loading Only' upon the top or side of all curbs within the zone (RMC 10.40.220, Passenger Loading Zones; Indication). It is unlawful for any person to stop, stand or park a vehicle in any loading zone for any purpose other than the loading or unloading of passengers or materials, and only for the time permitted. The same applies to passenger loading zones, which are restricted to loading or unloading of passengers for the permitted time. The practical distinction is that yellow curbs serve commercial/freight loading while white curbs serve passenger pick-up and drop-off. These designations are placed and enforced by city authority and align with the standard California curb-color conventions, where yellow means loading of freight or passengers (commercial) and white means loading and unloading of passengers or mail. Time limits posted at specific zones control how long a vehicle may remain.
