The bullnose kerb provides a soft edge restraint to the kerbstone, while continuing to maintain a 90-degree angle to the ground. Due to this smooth, curved edge, the bullnose is well suited for a variety of applications, including being used to border pathways, steps and flowerbeds with the aim of providing definition. When a crossing is required, normally for access to a private driveway or pedestrian crossing, a bullnose curb sequence is used.
