What does the red paint on the curb mean?
It means that cars cannot stop or park in those sections.
It looks like they painted still on curb just in case the drivers would claim that didn't see it or it doesn't apply because the curb wasn't painted.
Red paint and yellow paint both mean parking against it is forbidden. Red is typically, but not exclusively, used for fire lanes, which are spaces which must not be obstructed because they are where the fire trucks park in the event of a fire.
Additionally, in the Los Angeles area, green paint is used to indicate that parking is allowed there, but there is a low time limit (such as 30 minutes).
fire lane from before the bike lane opened, i'd assume
Wish more cities would use these types of markings, they usually mean red/yellow being no parking and blue being accessible parking. In some European cities they use zigzag markings meaning no parking.
probably "don't fucking hit it"
