This list focuses on the significance of the kerb upstand height and kerb profile for fulfilling a range of different functions in the street environment. It should be noted that for a typical kerb with an upstand of 125mm, the kerbstone will be approximately 300mm in total height as it will be bedded approximately 175mm below the carriageway surface. Dimensions stated are therefore not representative of the kerbstone size, but of the intended surface level aesthetic.

Standard sizes can be used on carriageway edges (30mph speeds or greater). Low sizes can be used in shared space settings, crossovers, or on-footway loading bay edge treatment as an option. 45° splayed Variable Used where vehicles may need to ride up on to the verge (ie in an emergency). Bespoke splayed transition kerbs are also used adjacent to designated cycle lanes to maximise the effective width of the lane (125mm upstand) although any other kerb with a maximum 60-70mm upstand fulfils the same purpose. Half-battered Variable Used to notify motorists when they are too close to the edge of the carriageway. Footpath can be provided next to this kerb. Edging Flush Flat topped edging laid on edge used to contain paving when transitioning from one material to another. Kerbs for channels Square edge Flush Can be laid on edge or laid flat based on requirements Channel (normally laid flat). These kerbs can be used to delineate a raised table at an entry treatment (normally laid on edge). Kerbs for corners Radius Maximum: 140mm Standard: 125mm To provide a smooth radius where the carriageway is turning. For corner radii greater than 15 metres, standard straight kerbs can be used interspersed with radius kerbs.
