A kerb-drop can be a significant improvement in accessing your property. Additionally, it will help prevent cars from parking on your driveway. A driveway access law states that you must have a vehicle crossover in order to drive a vehicle up the footway into your driveway.

It is illegal to drive on footways if you don't comply. You may face prosecution if you violate the law.

It might be necessary to reinforce the pavement in front the property. It may be necessary to move street furniture, such as lampposts and manhole covers.
