Dropped kerbs
A dropped kerb is for pedestrian use, for example to enable
disabled access across a road. Where this is not possible or where
other considerations apply carriageways are raised to enable
pedestrians to cross the carriageway with ease.
To speak to someone regarding a dropped kerb please contact the
City of London's Access Team on 020 7332 1995 or by
email.

Dropped crossovers
A dropped crossover is to allow vehicular access across a pathway,
though this particular type of access is not encouraged.
Crossovers for new developments are dealt with at the planning
stage and enquiries should be made to the Planning Department on
their general number 020 7332 1710. Temporary crossovers are agreed
with the Highways section of the Department of Environmental
Services which is covered in the guidance note.

The requirements for dropped crossings are regularly monitored
by the City of London's Access Officer and through regular meetings
between the Highways section and the Access Group.
