Dropped kerbs/vehicle crossings

Driving across pavements and verges can cause considerable damage to the pavement, underground pipes and cables, and vehicles. A crossover strengthens the pavement and prevents such damage. It's illegal to drive over grass verges or pavements unless a dropped kerb is in place.

Applying for a dropped kerb

The cost of crossings vary depending on size and potential obstructions, so an officer must visit the site to assess your application.
