What is a curb painted white meant for?

Answer options

Why

Each curb color carries its own parking rule. White allows only a brief stop to let passengers in or out or to drop off or collect mail, while yellow is for loading freight or passengers.

Tip A white curb is for a quick drop-off or pickup of people or mail, not for parking or loading cargo.
