What is a "curb"?
A curb is the raised edge along a road, typically made of concrete or stone, that separates the street from the sidewalk. It helps to control the flow of traffic, provides a clear boundary between the road and pedestrian areas, and also directs rainwater into drainage systems. Curbs are often seen in urban areas, where they assist with parking and traffic management by preventing vehicles from driving onto sidewalks.
