drop kerb

Lowered pavement edge

A drop kerb is a section of pavement where the kerb has been lowered to street level, allowing easier access for wheelchairs, prams, and vehicles entering driveways.

The British spelling; Americans say curb cut or dropped curb.

We applied to the council for a drop kerb so we could park in the front garden.
