Evaluating the Performance of Polymer Road Curbs

Since 2008, the Department of Infrastructure on the Isle of Man, located within the British Isles, has been investigating the use of polymer curb units in order to minimize workforce injury. With little current work detailing the experiences of early adopters of these new curb units, this work presents the findings from seven case studies on the Isle of Man. In addition, experimental testing is undertaken in order to determine the suitability of polymer curbs in a variety of real-world situations.
