==Users and uses== [[Image:Curb cut for wheelchair ramp (DSC 3616).jpg|thumb|A curb cut at an intersection]] Curb cuts at intersections allow for [[people with disabilities]] such as [[wheelchair]] users to move around safely, independently, and with less difficulty. Curb cuts typically feature [[tactile paving]], a pattern of circular bumps that indicate to [[Visual impairment|visually impaired]] pedestrians they are about to enter a roadway.<ref>{{cite news|last1=McParland|first1=Tom|title=Here's What Those Bumps in the Sidewalk Are For|url=http://jalopnik.com/heres-what-those-bumps-in-the-sidewalk-are-for-1792172374|access-date=9 February 2017|work=Jalopnik|publisher=[[Gawker Media]]|date=9 February 2017}}</ref> Curb cuts also benefit other [[pedestrian]]s and wheeled forms of transport, such as people with [[cart]]s or [[cyclist]]s.
