What is a Vehicle Crossover?
A vehicle crossover, otherwise known as a dropped kerb, enables you to drive over a footway legally to reach your property or driveway. It is actually legal to cross the footway without a local authority approved dropped kerb if you are coming from a highway. Without a dropped kerb, driving over the footway can cause significant damage to your car and the pipes underneath the surface of the footway. It is therefore essential that your vehicle crossover is installed by an experienced and professional contractor.
A vehicle crossover is installed by lowering the kerb and constructed in a way to strengthen the pavement - this avoids any damage being caused to the surface or utilities below. Various applications and procedures need to be adhered to, dependent upon which local authority you fall under. As approved contractors for East Sussex County Council, P&D Driveways are equipped with a detailed understanding of the applications and procedures that need to be followed when legally installing a vehicle crossover within East Sussex.
