DELETE Paragraphs 02 through 05.
INSERT the following paragraphs:
Support:
01A Where used to delineate the curb, visibility is generally improved, especially during night hours. They become, in effect, edge markings delineating the edge of the roadway.
Support:
06A This is considered good practice for the following reasons:
In the winter, curb markings are frequently obliterated by snow and ice; and
Road users with visual deficiencies can find it difficult to distinguish colors and/or read word markings on curbs, especially at night.
Standard:
07A A colored curb shall not be used to convey parking regulations. Signs shall be the primary method to indicate non-statutory parking regulations. Where curbs are marked, the colors shall conform to the general principles of markings (see Section 3A.05).
Option:
07B Legible word markings may be used to convey a general statutory prohibition of parking within a specific distance of a STOP sign, driveway, fire hydrant, or crosswalk.
