curb space

Curb space refers to the area along the edge of the street, typically where vehicles park, loading zones are designated, or bicycle lanes and transit stops are located. Managing curb space involves allocating these areas efficiently to support transportation needs, reduce congestion, and improve safety for all users. Proper curb space use ensures that parking, deliveries, public transit, and biking coexist smoothly, benefiting urban flow and accessibility. It is a critical element of city planning to optimize limited street real estate for various transportation functions while enhancing overall mobility and convenience.
