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.
Parkway Permits Residents can apply for a permit to legally park in the parkway portion of their driveway, if their vehicle will fit fully within the parkway. Check the Parkway Parking Measurement Guides (pdf) for exact measurements and details.
Effective June 1, 2022, Corvallis will begin to transition to higher parking meter rates and citation fees, after more than 14 years without increasing these fees. A citywide parking audit provided a foundation for increasing parking meter fees throughout the city. Previously, rates for parking meters were last adjusted in 2000, and before that in 1992.
Residential parking permits for Districts A, B, or C can be obtained in person at Corvallis Public Works, 1245 NE 3rd St. or through the online application found here.
