That is no longer a functioning curb and is what happens when you repave several times without milling. That said, we apparently have some drivers that are not good at making right turns.
So what I’m hearing is you’re not very enthusiastic about this curb.
I like granite curbs. I don’t like repaving that does not mill the existing road bed, which deteriorates the ability of curbs to do their job – which includes framing the roadway and channeling runoff.
Chicken and egg question–did yesterday’s public works engineers protest politician’s orders to repave streets regardless of the drainage issues? Of course, I guess milling didn’t become anywhere near cost effective until the 1980’s, maybe. But too many of our Atlanta area roads are ruined (or made repaving jobs really expensive) because they never incorporated milling and recycling into repaving. Granite Curbs were cheap in the 50’s, but now they are 3x the cost of concrete.
Sounds like you need a big honkon’ rock to encourage people to stay in the street.
Needs to chain up some old bicycles at the edge of the yard to really drive the point home
Um, no parking within 25 ft of the intersection, right?
Easy fix: a piece of 2×4, about 12 nails, a sign illustrating a flat tire that says: “Hit this, fix that.”
Long term fix: incorporate, then have the city works department fix it.
Back when I was out of school developing site plans for Home Depot, my boss would redline my drawings with “Add BAR” on every parking lot island. I asked him what that meant. He would reply, “Big-Ass Rock.”
Trench warfare.
