Curb Cuts

Curb cuts are small ramps built into the edges of sidewalks where they meet the street. They are designed to make it easier for everyone—such as people using wheelchairs, parents with strollers, or cyclists—to transition smoothly between the street and sidewalk. Originally created to improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities, curb cuts also benefit many others by providing safer, more convenient crossings. By removing physical barriers, curb cuts promote inclusivity and facilitate mobility for a diverse range of users in urban environments.
