Dropped kerbs and crossovers

Dropped kerbs and crossovers

Dropped kerbs

Dropped kerbs are built at pedestrian crossings to help reduce accidents when pedestrians step on to the pavement. If you think an area of public pavement needs a dropped kerb, please email bridges@lbhf.gov.uk.

Crossovers

Crossovers are built across pavements to allow vehicles to access private forecourts. They are needed because they prevent damage to vehicles and the pavement. We will build a crossover for access to your forecourt if you pay for its construction (this is also subject to planning approval and other highway considerations). 

When we receive an application we inspect the site to see if a crossover would cause an obstruction, risk to other road and pavement users, or increase levels of parking stress. If your application is successful, we will send you an estimate of the cost.

Please note, there is an administration fee of £126 to process the application whether or not it is successful.
