liz and i'm here to help you increase your driving intellect so let's dive right in now the california driver handbook explains that there are five painted colored curbs and that each has its own special parking rules so let's go over them together red no stopping standing or parking in other words never and i mean never stop or park at a red curb it's important to keep your red curbs clear because these red zones are usually reserved for emergency vehicles fire hydrants and sometimes buses are allowed to stop in these areas if a sign allows it blue blue curbs allow stopping or parking only for a disabled person with the disabled placard or plates or someone who is driving a disabled person blue curbs are easy to remember because most parking signs for disabled persons are also blue on public city streets disabled drivers can park at blue curbs for an unlimited amount of time also it is important that you never park in the area next to a disabled parking space that's often painted with blue diagonal stripes or crosshatch lines and that's because this space is reserved for van ramps that assist in loading and unloading disabled people into their vehicle green you can park at a green curb but only for a limited time how long you can park at a green curb is different from place to place but there is usually a sign posted letting you know the amount of time you're allowed to park there and sometimes that time limit is painted directly on the green curb just make sure you don't overstay the posted time limit or you can be sighted or even towed white stop only long enough to pick up or drop off passengers or mail white curbs are for quick pickups and drop offs of people or mail never park your vehicle at a white curb long term instead keep your stay short
