Description | Low, mountable plastic, rubber, or concrete curb that can be bolted to pavement and used as barrier element. |
Typical Dimensions | Length varies. 3 / 4 / 6 / 8 ft. long x 5.75 in. wide x 4 in. tall. |
Estimated Cost | $30 - $45 / unit. |
Durability | Demo: 1 day to 1 month installation / Pilot: 1 month to 1 year installation / Interim: 1 year to 5 year installation. |
Bikeways | Center curb stops within the buffer zone along the edge of the bikeway. Typical spacing should be 8 - 20 ft. between stops, depending on the thoroughfare’s design speed / bikeway configuration. Allow gaps for curbside pedestrian access or for cyclists to cross through the barrier. Allow a minimum of 1.5 ft. clear width for installation. |
Roundabouts | May be used to demarcate roundabout area, in conjunction with signs and other design elements. |
Easily installed and removed --bolted or adhered to street surface with epoxy. | |
Low profile may present a trip hazard; add reflective tape in areas with high pedestrian activity. | |
In most configurations, rubber curb stops will limit cyclist ability to cross over / through the barrier. Should only be used in places where this activity is not required. | |
Not designed to be driven over on a regular basis. Can pose challenges for trash collection and other curbside services. | |
Use plastic curb stops for demonstration projects, rubber or concrete for pilot or interim design projects. |
