"Curb Hopping" - driving up and over the concrete curbing that forms a
rain gutter at the edge of a street - or anywhere else - to make a
short-cut to your destination.
There is a drive-in fast food place here where to place your order you
are forced by curbing to drive a 360 degree circle around the building
to get to the order window. If there is no other traffic in the circle
and one is willing to "Curb-Hop" - you can be at the order window
within two car lengths after leaving the street to visit the fast food
drive-in. - No driving completely around the facility!
