Kerbs

Prepared by: Samsoor Ahmad Momand

Assignment #2
 Defination
• The kerb (or curb) of a road is the raised
edge that separates the pavement or
sidewalk from the roadway. It serves as a
physical barrier to prevent vehicles from
driving onto the sidewalk and also helps to
channel rainwater away from the road
surface.
Importance of kerbs

1. Kerbs provide a physical barrier between the

road and adjacent areas.

2. They help to define the roadway and prevent

vehicles from leaving the road unintentionally.

3. Kerbs direct water runoff away from the road

surface and into drainage systems, preventing
flooding and erosion.

• 4. They can be used to create designated parking
areas or to separate different types of traffic,
such as bike lanes or bus lanes.
•
• 5. Overall, kerbs are an essential part of road
infrastructure and help to ensure safe and
efficient transportation.
Types of kerbs
There are several types of kerbs that can be used on
roads, including:

1. Barrier kerbs - these are used to separate the

road from pedestrian areas or cycle lanes.

2. Mountable kerbs - these are lower and can be

driven over by vehicles if necessary.

3. Channel kerbs - these are designed to channel

water away from the road surface and into drainage
systems.

 Types; Continuous

4. Bullnose kerbs - these have a rounded edge and

are often used in areas where vehicles need to
turn.

5. Extruded kerbs - these are made from a single

piece of concrete and are often used in areas with
heavy traffic.

6. Granite kerbs - these are made from natural

stone and are often used in historic or high-end
areas.

• 7. Tactile kerbs - these have a raised pattern or texture to
help visually impaired pedestrians navigate safely.
Dimensions of kerbs
• The general dimensions for kerbs of road can vary
depending on the location and purpose of the road.
However, typical dimensions for a standard kerb
may be around 150mm to 300mm in height, with a
width of around 300mm to 450mm.

• The length of the kerb may also vary depending on
the design of the road and the specific
requirements of the project. It is important to
consult local regulations and guidelines for specific
dimensions and requirements for kerbs in a
particular area.
