Why
A red curb marks a fire lane or another zone that must stay open for emergency vehicles, so stopping, standing, and parking there are all prohibited. Pulling onto a freeway shoulder is allowed when you have a real emergency.
Tip A curb painted red means no stopping of any kind, so do not pause there to let a passenger out or wait there with the engine idling.
