Curb cuts are a form of LID/BMP [[Inlets|inlet]].
Curb cuts are a form of LID/BMP [[Inlets|inlet]]. They include a variety of modified curbs and spillways.
They are well suited to retrofit scenarios and to collect runoff from catchments with relatively gentle longitudinal slope, and/or a greater cross slope. This might be the local topography of a parking lot or a piece of parkland?

As this inlet width is directly proportional to longitudinal slope; the required curb cut width increases rapidly on steeper roads.
