The problem with kerbs is that they trap water and require drainage to

wider and paint a white line a couple of feet in from the edge. That
provides the edges with just enough protection from the effects of heavy
vehicles.


There are those promoting road safety advocating that white lines,
including the centre line should be removed from rural roads to make
people drive slower. These are the same experts who have contributed
significantly to urban pollution by introducing so many road calming
measures that traffic is often at stop for long periods.
