What does a yellow curb mean? In the City of Corvallis, yellow-painted curbs are used to denote no-parking zones. Yellow curbs are typically used in front of fire hydrants, at approaches to stop signs and intersections, some transit stops, and at bike lane transition areas. Yellow curbs may also be used on either side of business and residential driveway approaches to maintain sight lines.
