Dropped Kerbs
Dropped kerbs (or crossovers)
Did you know?
It is an offence to drive across a footpath (public footway) without an authorised vehicular crossing, also known as a dropped kerb or crossover. This is because it may cause damage to the footpath or the services (gas, electrics, water) underneath.
What does a vehicular crossing involve?
- The lowering of the kerbs in front of your driveway.
- The strengthening of the existing footway and verge from your property boundary to the edge of the road.
- The moving or protection of other highway furniture, and any pipes or cables belonging to public utilities underneath the crossing.
- Undertaking the work in accordance with the conditions and procedures laid down by the county council.
- Inspection of the work by our highway superintendents.
