Drop kerbs:
Dropped kerbs (sometimes identified as path crossings or vehicle crossovers let you drive a vehicle from the street over the footway onto your driveway. To do this, the kerb is dropped from the typical altitude and the trail is strengthened to take the burden of the vehicle. Without this, the path and any pipes that are covered under it could be smashed. If you drive over the path but do not have drop kerbs, you are flouting the rule, and enforcement action could be taken alongside you. If you exist in a prohibited parking district and grasp an appropriate permit you are permitted to the square over a dropped kerb outside your house as long as you’re not overcrowding anyone else, such as a wheelchair, pram users, or motorist. You will not be allowable to park across any other dropped kerb.
