The vast majority of drivers believe that the point of roll curbs is to allow them to drive to the other side of the curb. I can't even really say I blame them, as I have yet to figure out what other purpose they serve.
We need to stop putting roll curbs along pedestrian spaces. Barrier curbs are the standard signal for "this is not a driveable area".
I asked once about the roll curbs on King in Waterloo and was told "accessibility". I'm not convinced, but that was the answer.
Yes, I've heard multiple answers, accessibility was an excuse given on King St. which doesn't hold much weight given that the other section of King where cars park have barrier curbs.
Same with the LRT, why does it have roll curbs, when every other road has barrier curbs.
And I've also heard for snow clearing, but that doesn't make sense in DTK where the sidewalks are plowed separately...nor for the LRT.
