kerb
This term is primarily used in British English. In American English, the word is spelled curb, though the meaning remains identical. It refers to the physical boundary that separates a pedestrian walkway from the vehicular roadway.
When used as a verb, it describes the technical process of installing these boundaries. This is a specialized construction term and is less common in everyday conversation than the noun form.
