What exactly is a dropped kerb?
In many areas, particularly near junctions on roads, and also in areas with pedestrians where kerbs can be lowered to create an accessible ramp for motorists and pedestrians. A dropped kerb is the process of lower the elevation of a specific section of pavement to create a level entrance to the street or path towards the road. The removal of the sharp and abrupt gap in the height makes it much easier for pedestrians to walk across roads, and for motorists to park or access property from these areas.
The process of lowering the pavement is to lower the kerbstones to drop them from their initial height and then securing the verge or pavement to ensure they can withstand the weight that is trying to cross them.
Pavements are generally lower for two reasons – to increase the safety of crossings for vehicles or to make wheelchair and pedestrian access easier, safer and easier.
Dropped kerbs, vehicle crossings
