How do you calculate KERB radius?
When an existing line of kerbs forms a quarter-circle (which is a 90° arc), then determining the radius is incredibly simple: the distance from tangent point to the interception of a straight line projected from the other tangent point *must* be the same as the radius of the arc.
What is KERB radius?
A ‘bend’ in a kerb line is more correctly known as a ‘radius’. All bends, curves and arcs are composed of one or more radiuses (or radii, if you prefer). The size of any radius can be determined by measuring the length of a chord stretched between the arc and then measuring a perpendicular to that chord at the centre.

What is the minimum diameter for a circular driveway?

What is a transition kerb?
Transition Kerbs are utilised for changing the profile of the kerb face, whilst not changing the overall height / dimensions. Often used when changing from either Splay profile to Half Battered or Half Battered to Bullnosed. Ordering Transition Kerbs. As with drop kerbs, they have either right hand or left hand.
What is the legal height of a kerb?
Kerb construction For most purposes, the top of the kerb should be 100 mm above the road surface. If kerbs are placed too high it can induce ‘kerb shyness’ which is where the width of the carriageway is effectively reduced.
How big does a standard RADIUS kerb need to be?
Standard Radius Kerb – Bullnosed * For a Radius greater than 12m straights should be utilised. **1/4 circles can be constructed without any cutting required, this applies when using units with a face length of 780mm. For all other face lengths cutting will be required. * Also available in 600mm lengths ** For use with 125×255 Splayed
