Section 3B.23 - Curb MarkingsSupport:
01 Curb markings are most often used to indicate parking regulations or to delineate the curb. Standard:
02 Where curbs are marked to convey parking regulations in areas where curb markings are frequently obscured by snow and ice accumulation, signs shall be used with the curb markings except as provided in Paragraph 4. Guidance:
03 Except as provided in Paragraph 4, when curb markings are used without signs to convey parking regulations, a legible word marking regarding the regulation (such as "No Parking" or "No Standing") should be placed on the curb.03A (DE Revision) Curb markings should not be used along state-maintained roadways to indicate parking regulations. Standard:
03B Where curb markings are installed along state-maintained roadways by a local municipality, they shall be maintained by the local municipality. Option:
04 Curb markings without word markings or signs may be used to convey a general prohibition by statute of parking within a specified distance of a STOP sign, YIELD sign, driveway, fire hydrant, or crosswalk.05 Local highway agencies may prescribe special colors for curb markings to supplement standard signs for parking regulation. Support:
06 Since yellow and white curb markings are frequently used for curb delineation and visibility, it is advisable to establish parking regulations through the installation of standard signs (see Sections 2B.46 through 2B.48). Standard:
07 Where curbs are marked for delineation or visibility purposes, the colors shall comply with the general principles of markings (see Section 3A.05). Guidance:
08 Retroreflective solid yellow markings should be placed on the approach ends of raised medians and curbs of islands that are located in the line of traffic flow where the curb serves to channel traffic to the right of the obstruction.09 Retroreflective solid white markings should be used when traffic is permitted to pass on either side of the island. Support:
10 Where the curbs of the islands become parallel to the direction of traffic flow, it is not necessary to mark the curbs unless an engineering study indicates the need for this type of delineation.11 Curbs at openings in a continuous median island need not be marked unless an engineering study indicates the need for this type of marking. Option:
12 Retroreflective or internally illuminated raised pavement markers of the appropriate color may be placed on the pavement in front of the curb and/or on the top of curbed noses of raised medians and curbs of islands, as a supplement to or substitute for retroreflective curb markings used for delineation.2 Del.
