I have seen yellow curbs to the right of traffic, contrary to the general principles of yellow and white markings. Does this yellow curb mean no parking?
Curb markings are discussed in Section 3B.23 and the marking of islands is discussed in Chapter 3I. For delineation and visibility purposes, retroreflective solid yellow markings are recommended for use on the nose of raised medians and island curbs in the line of traffic flow where all traffic must pass to the right. Since yellow and white curbs are frequently used for island curb delineation and visibility, it is advisable to establish parking regulations through the installation of standard signs discussed in Sections 2B.46 through 2B.48 rather than via colored curbs. However, Section 3B.23 does allow local highway agencies to prescribe special colors for curb markings to supplement standard signs for parking regulations. In those cases where curb markings are used without signs to convey parking regulations, Section 3B.23 recommends that a legible word marking regarding the regulation (such as “No Parking”) should be placed on the curb.
