What curb colors mean on private property
On private lots, curb colors follow fire department rules and property policy. Red is commonly reserved for fire lanes; other colors are often used for loading, no-parking or short-term zones. Use one consistent system so drivers can read it.
Prep matters on curbs
Curbs collect dirt, oil and old flaking paint. Cleaning and removing loose paint before recoating helps the new coat bond and keeps the color even.
