What Is A Rolled Curb? All You Need To Know.

June 26, 2025

Did you know there are several different types of curbs? From barrier curbs to integral curbs and rolled curbs, there’s a whole range of curb styles out there that you’ve probably never even noticed before. Let’s take a closer look at rolled curbs, why they’re an issue for many homeowners, and how BRIDJIT has created an elegant solution. 

What Is A Rolled Curb?

A rolled curb is a type of driveway curb with a curved or angled profile rather than a vertical drop. While this slanted design may look more vehicle-friendly than traditional barrier curbs, rolled curbs are still raised enough to deliver a noticeable bump every time you drive over them. A rolled curb has a slanted, softened profile – but it’s still a jolt to your car’s suspension.

Rolled curbs and barrier curbs share similarities, but there are key difference is their shape:

  • Barrier curbs: Steep 90-degree drop, very hard to drive over
  • Rolled curbs: Angled face, but still high enough to jolt your vehicle

“Both curb types are tough on cars – but only rolled curbs pretend to be drivable.” 

Barrier curbs are typically installed along roadsides to prevent vehicles from leaving the pavement, whereas rolled curbs often border residential driveways.

Problems With Rolled Curbs

If you find yourself asking, “Why does my driveway feel like a speed bump?” The culprit is usually a rolled curb. Regularly driving over this style of curb can result in:

  • Underbody damage: Scraping the bottom of your car
  • Suspension wear and tear: Straining your shocks and struts
  • Drivetrain stress: Causing alignment and handling issues
  • Wheel misalignment: Especially in low-slung or sports cars

These issues make rolled curbs especially frustrating for owners of all types of vehicles from sedans, to EVs, sports cars, trucks and even RVs.

Can I Repair A Rolled Curb Myself?

In most cases, no. Filling in a rolled curb with concrete or asphalt is not allowed in most states due to city regulations on rolled curbs. And beyond legality, those solutions tend to crack and shift over time and will cause issues with water drainage. That’s why the best rolled curb solution is something that’s:

  • Heavy-duty but movable
  • Non-permanent
  • Durable and weather-resistant
  • Compliant with most municipal codes
