Why Barrier Kerbs Are Essential for Road Safety

Barrier kerbs are a crucial element in the design and safety of roads, pavements, and public spaces. Whether used to separate vehicle lanes from pedestrian walkways or to define the edges of medians and intersections, barrier kerbs play an important role in protecting both people and infrastructure.

What are barrier kerbs?

Barrier kerbs are rigid, upright concrete kerbs designed to prevent vehicles from mounting pavements or entering restricted zones. They are commonly used along roadsides, traffic islands, car parks, and pedestrian areas where clear separation is needed between vehicles and other areas.

At Lascokerbs, we manufacture all barrier kerbs at 30 MPA strength using virgin materials and accredited lab testing to ensure long-term durability.

Key benefits of barrier kerbs

  • Pedestrian protection: Barrier kerbs act as a physical barrier between vehicles and walkways, reducing the risk of accidents in areas with high foot traffic.
  • Traffic control: By guiding the flow of vehicles, barrier kerbs help to maintain orderly traffic movement, particularly at intersections, roundabouts, and sharp corners.
  • Property and infrastructure protection: Kerbs prevent vehicles from accidentally driving onto lawns, gardens, or structures, safeguarding both private and public assets.
  • Improved drainage: Barrier kerbs help manage stormwater by directing runoff towards drains and channels, reducing flooding and surface erosion.
  • Edge restraint: They provide structural support to the edge of the road or paving, preventing cracking or shifting over time.
