	Chapter 7. Curb Ramps - FHWA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The drainage slope of the gutter is the slope parallel to the curb and roadway.
		Furthermore, if a curb extension is installed on an existing road, the height of the curb can be significantly reduced due to the crown of the road that causes the edge of the curb extension to be at a higher elevation than the edge of the sidewalk.
		The slope of the curb ramp is compounded by the slope of the sidewalk; and

	WQ313 Flush Gutters for Dairies, MU Extension
		Curbs are an important component in flush systems because they maintain flow depth and direct the water flow as desired.
		Curbs may be coincident with building walls or fences with poles or posts built into the curb.
		Concrete flumes (extensions of receiving gutters) may be used to transport water from the receiving gutter to the lagoon, or a pipe conduit can be used in conjunction with a catch basin.

	Chapter IV - Geometrics
		Curb heights as low as 6 inches (155 mm), less than Delaware=s barrier curb, may be used to allow emergency vehicles to mount and cross barriers without encouraging the same by private vehicles.
		At 2 inches (50 mm) high, the outer curb is not particularly visible from the driver's angle of view, nor is it protective of landscaping in the center island.
		The use of mountable rather than barrier curbs is prompted the complexity of movement through chicanes, and the fact that curb extensions and edge islands within chicanes are not expected to serve as pedestrian refuges.

	Signalized Intersections: Informational Guide (FHWA-HRT-04-091)
		Curb radius reduction has been suggested in research because one common pedestrian crash is when right-turning vehicles at intersections strike pedestrians.
		A curb radius increase from 4.6 m (15 ft) to 15.2 m (50 ft) increases the pedestrian crossing distance from 18.9 m (62 ft) to 30.5 m (100 ft), all else being equal.
		Curb extensions, also known as "bulbouts" or "neckdowns," involve extending the sidewalk or curb line into the street, reducing the effective street width.

	Extension pockets - metal forming accessories - dee Concrete
		Swivel extension pockets are heavy-duty metal channels with two attached welded on stake pockets.
		Extension pockets allow concrete forming to be performed in where stake placement would not normally be possible.
		Extension pocket applications include hanging forms over a trench, securing forms on loose soil or rocky soil or gravel, or securing forms over areas with underground cables or other utility lines where direct staking could cause problems.

		Chokers are usually constructed as an extension of the curb, sidewalk, or planting strip.
		The extension into the roadway is typically 2 to 3 meters, depending on the total width of the road.
		Curbs on the extensions can be vertical or mountable if it is necessary to accommodate larger turning vehicles.

	The Curb: A Finely Polished Instrument \| ClassicalDressage.com
		For, once the lever action of the curb becomes a painful torture instrument for jaw and bars, one often accomplishes the exact opposite of what was intended: the horse resists with all his strength, often until the nerve endings in the chin and lower jaw die.
		How many rings of the curb chain are left hanging on either side of the curb chain on the outside of the hooks depends again on the conformation of the jaw, especially its width.
		The shanks of the modern curb bits then form an angle of approximately 45 degrees with the mouth, when the reins are in light contact, whereas they run parallel with the mouth, when the reins are dropped.

	City of Kingston, Ontario, Canada - Traffic Calming Information - Curb Extensions
		A curb extension is a horizontal intrusion of the curb into the roadway resulting in a narrower section of roadway.
		The curb extension is extended on one or both sides of the roadway to reduce its width to as little as 6.0 metres for two-way traffic.
		The cost to install a curb extension is variable and dependent on the length and width of the extension, drainage requirements, labour and material costs.

		The Ellensburg curb extensions (or "bulbs", as they are sometimes called by engineers) also slow turning movements in the downtown area, and expand the parking width along the shoulder to allow angled parking -- another excellent strategy for downtown traffic calming that also provides more parking for businesses.
		In many cases, a curb extension is also designed to be a transit feature, allowing buses to easily pick up passengers at the curb without pulling in and out of traffic.
		The Ellensburg curb extensions were not designed for transit stops, however, and landscaping occupies the area that would normally be devoted to a bus stop or shelter.

		In this case, the wider rein is attached to the snaffle and the narrower rein to the curb.
		With the curb or Pelham bit, one of the most critical adjustments on the bridle is the curb strap or chain.
		If the curb strap is too loose, the bit will turn too far in the mouth before the curb contacts the lower jaw.

	LA County Neighborhood Traffic Management Program - Toolbox - Curb Extensions
		"Curb Extensions" is a group term, which can apply to chokers and slow points, semi-diverters, and bulb-outs.
		The term is most often used at pedestrian crossings - both at intersections and mid-block, where the extension of the curb into the roadway narrows the distance between curbs and improves the pedestrian environment.
		However, some parking may be lost and bike lanes may need to be terminated prior to the extension.

	International Pedestrian Lexicon
		We even described 'combination' curb ramps wherein some portion of the change in elevation was accomplished on the sidewalk leg, leaving a lesser height for a short perpendicular run (good for sidewalks of six feet or so in width).
		What is essential is that the length of the sides of a curb ramp be the same, so that its footprint is a rectangle, not skewed into a trapezoid to be in line with a crosswalk, as often happens with large-radius returns.
		Use of the term often reflects the fact that the driver was not paying attention when the person moved into their "path" and thus the pedestrian's presence was "sudden," leaving them with the conclusion that the pedestrian "darted," when in fact he may not have moved as fast as "dart" implies.

		Officers who examined the scene of the accident shortly after it occurred established the point of impact approximately 3 feet from the edge of the traveled portion of the street (there was no curb) and within the marked crosswalk.
		This extension of the white line was obviously for the purpose of marking a sidewalk area for pedestrians on Wall Street, since there was no curb on that street.
		The fact that it was an extension of the line marking the crosswalk on Alaskan Way did not convert this sidewalk area into a crosswalk, and particularly not a crosswalk on Alaskan Way.

		Care must be taken along the non-local street that safety and congestion problems are not created elsewhere, and that drivers are not encouraged to use private property (parking lots, etc.) to assist in turning around or otherwise circumventing the intent of the barrier.
		Discussion: The psychological effect of curb extensions may be their most important attribute.
		Primary criteria: Some of the key factors to determine if curb extensions are appropriate include roadway width (minimum 10 to 11-foot travel lanes are required), impact on parking, impact on turning movements, and impact on City services such as street cleaning and waste collection.
