Probably more awkward to drill into an angled surface. And it may be an MTO thing that you can’t have a fixed obstacle in the swept path of the road vehicles (ie the roll curb area).

“swept path”? By definition motor vehicles are not supposed to be in the curb area. But sadly I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find that you’re right. People are way too concerned about what happens to some drunkard who drives off the road, and not enough about what happens to their victims on the sidewalk.

Although it is true that the street sweepers need to be able to clean the gutters.
