Turlock loading curbs follow standard color rules: white curbs allow 3-minute loading of passengers or mail, and yellow curbs allow 3-minute loading of passengers or freight. Commercial property owners apply to the city to have these zones installed. Businesses must also provide off-street loading spaces under the zoning code.
On-street loading in Turlock is managed through painted curb zones that commercial property owners can request from the city. A white curb allows a 3-minute stop for loading or unloading passengers or depositing mail, and a yellow curb allows a 3-minute stop for loading or unloading passengers or freight; a green curb provides 24-minute short-term parking. To install one, the applicant submits an application, obtains signatures from adjacent neighbors, and the city reviews whether the installation is warranted; if approved, the applicant pays a one-time $90 per 20-24 foot vehicle stall length, covering installation and lifetime maintenance. Separately, the Turlock Municipal Code requires development to provide off-street loading. The TMC defines a "loading space" as a designated parking area for loading and unloading goods and materials from a commercial vehicle and directs to Chapter 9-2, Article 2 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations), with TMC 9-2-218 covering the location and design of off-street loading spaces. The curb-color time limits align with the California Vehicle Code framework that the state controls, while Turlock administers the local installation program and off-street loading requirements.
Stopping longer than the posted curb limit (3 minutes at white/yellow zones) or for a non-permitted purpose is a parking violation cited by the Police Department and processed by the Parking Management Bureau. Off-street loading shortfalls are enforced through the zoning/code-enforcement process.
