What is a Dropped Kerb?
A dropped kerb is a section of kerbing lowered to pavement level, creating a smooth transition from the road to a driveway or pathway. Essential for vehicles accessing private properties and ensuring accessibility for pedestrians, dropped kerbs enhance safety and usability while maintaining the surrounding area's visual appeal.
