Curbs, Driveways & Curb Cuts
Curb cut A curb cut is an opening or lowered section of curb that allows vehicles to enter a property or provides an accessible pedestrian crossing. It changes the curb profile while maintaining street drainage.

In NYC, curb cuts for driveways generally require approval before construction because they modify the public streetscape. Their size, location, and slope must comply with applicable design requirements to protect pedestrians and maintain roadway safety. Curb cuts are also associated with ADA-accessible pedestrian ramps at intersections.
