In Tennessee, what does a curb painted white indicate?

To restrict parking, colored curb markings can be used in addition to or instead of regulatory signs. In Tennessee, a curb painted white means that you may stop there only long enough to load or unload passengers but not cargo. You must stay with your vehicle while the loading or unloading is taking place. (Note: There is no national standard for curb colors. Each state can choose how to use curb colors, and some states don't use them at all. When traveling out of state, always check the local traffic laws.)
