What is a Cross Over Concrete?
A concrete crossover is the section of driveway that crosses the public footpath and nature strip to connect your private property to the road. It typically includes:
- The vehicle crossing (between curb and footpath)
- Footpath modifications if required
- Kerb and channel alterations
- Tactile indicators (if required by council)
Cross overs must follow local council regulations regarding width, gradient, reinforcement, and surface type. At Best & Less Concrete, we’re well-versed with Research’s council crossover requirements, so you don’t need to worry about compliance—we take care of it all.
