MOUNTABLE CURB
A mountable curb is made of poured concrete that is 11 inches high on the backside or the side away from the street and is eight inches high on the street side. The combination of the curb and gutter is 30 inches wide. The purpose of a mountable curb is twofold. A mountable curb is used for conveying stormwater that drains from the roadway and, to a smaller extent, abutting lands to a catch basin or drainage inlet for conveyance in the stormwater drainage system. The secondary purpose that a mountable curb serves is to permit a municipal street to be constructed at a time when the various driveway approaches are unknown. A mountable curb can be driven over with appropriate care and caution.
TYPE D OR VERTICAL FACE CURB
A vertical face curb is a curb made of poured concrete that is 12 inches high on the backside or the side away from the street and is 7 1/2 inches high on the street side. The combination of the curb and gutter is 30 inches wide. The purpose of a vertical face curb is for conveying stormwater that drains from the roadway and, to a smaller extent, abutting lands to a catch basin or drainage inlet for conveyance in the stormwater drainage system as well as providing a defined limit for a street.
