What is a Vehicle Crossover (or dropped kerb)?

A vehicle crossover allows you to legally drive over a footway to reach your property / driveway. If you are coming from a highway to cross the footway then it is actually illegal to do so without a local authority approved crossover. Similarly, driving over the footway without a crossover can damage your vehicle and the utilities (pipes underneath the surface), so it is vital you have one installed by a professional, approved contractor.

The kerb is lowered, and the crossover is constructed to strengthen the pavement in order to prevent any damage to the surface or utilities below. Dependent upon your local authority there are various applications and procedures you have to follow to adhere to their regulations. P&D Driveways are approved contractors for East Sussex County Council, so we have a detailed understanding of the requirements and applications required when installing a vehicle crossover legally within the East Sussex area.
