Curbs are also used in rural areas where traffic speeds are higher, but usually only in conjunction with guardrail for safety reasons. Curbs vary in exposed height with the higher curbs providing more traffic restriction abilities and allowing for future resurfacing without losing all of the curb exposure. _______________________________________________________________ CURB TYPES The various types of curbs indicated on Standard Sheets E605-CCSJ-01, E605-CCCG-01, and E605-CCIN-01. The types of curbs are as follows. 1) Curb -- This is a free standing curb, 20 in. in height with the top 6 to 8 in. exposed.
