Recently the authorities have installed kerbs along the sides of a main roadway out in the countryside near me where there were none previously. I have also seen this done in many other similar locations, as no doubt you have. Such installation costs a great deal and causes disruption during the work, and more to the point it is dangerous in that it damages tyres and suspension should one have to "take to the edge" for any reason. So my question is, why the hell do they do it? I can see absolutely no benefit in doing this, only detriment. Or am I missing something? Shall we start a campaign against unnecessary kerbs?
