Vehicle Crossings / Dropped Kerbs

The construction, or alteration, of a vehicle crossing (also known as a dropped kerb) involves adjusting the kerbs and strengthening the highway to allow vehicles to pass regularly over the footway or verge without causing damage to the highway.

The person who requests the crossing must pay for all construction costs, including planning consent (if required), repositioning of lamp columns, signs and adjustment of service boxes. Please be aware that planning consent must be obtained for the construction of crossings on a classified road (A, B, and C class roads), or where the property is a listed building or is in a conservation area.

The vehicle crossing is normally constructed by the Highway Maintenance Section who are part of the Council's Environmental Services Directorate. The Highway Maintenance Section will deal with the provision of estimates and receive payments before the work is carried out. In some instance the crossing can be installed by an approved and accredited Contractor. Any new or extended vehicle crossing constructed on public highway remains the responsibility of North East Lincolnshire Council.
