Red Curb Parking Laws

Quick answer:

No stopping, standing, or parking. Even with the engine running and your foot on the brake, if the wheels ain’t moving, you’re breaking the law. A parking ticket for stopping in the red zone in California will cost you $98. Leave the car parked there? Expect to pick your car up from a local towing lot.

More details on red curbs:

A curb painted red means you cannot park OR stop there, even if you are in the car when it’s running. I’ve received a parking ticket for dropping someone off at a red curb (unknowingly) – it was recorded from the camera on a parking enforcement vehicle from 50 yards behind me. I didn’t know until it arrived in the mail a month later. Super bummer.

Typically, you’ll find red zones at:

  • Edges of driveways
  • Intersection corners
  • Bus stops
  • Fire hydrants
  • Curb ramps
