*Inlet aprons or depressions increase inflow effectiveness of [[curb cuts]].  
*Inlet aprons or depressions increase inflow effectiveness of curb cuts.  
*Steeply angled aprons can be hazardous, especially to people bicycling. Curbside and protected bike lanes along concrete aprons should be at least 1.8 m to give cyclists adequate clear width from the curb and any pavement seams. Aprons can also be marked visually to indicate their perimeter.

*For aprons into [[bioretention]], the curb may angle into the cell to improve conveyance of gutter flow into the facility. Aprons typically drop 50 mm into the bioretention cell, with another 50 mm drop behind the curb to maintain inflow as debris collects.
