{{Short description|Ramp from elevated sidewalk to road}} [[File:2024-12-08 10 47 25 A newly-installed pedestrian curb cut at the corner of Aquetong Lane and Lochatong Road in the Mountainview section of Ewing Township, Mercer County, New Jersey.jpg|thumb|A pram ramp with tactile paving that connects a sidewalk to a road]] A '''curb cut''' ([[American English|U.S.]]), '''curb ramp''', '''depressed curb,''' '''dropped kerb''' ([[British English|UK]]), '''pram ramp''', or '''kerb ramp''' ([[Australian English|Australia]]) is a solid (usually concrete) ramp graded down from the top surface of a [[sidewalk]] to the surface of an adjoining street. It is designed primarily for pedestrian usage and commonly found in urban areas where pedestrian activity is expected. In comparison with a conventional [[curb]] (finished at a right angle {{Convert|4|β|6|in|cm}} above the street surface) a curb cut is finished at an intermediate gradient that connects both surfaces, sometimes with [[tactile paving]].
