In a report on a road construction project:
Kantsteinsvis for nedsenket kantstein skal være 1,5 cm.

curb height
Statens Vegvesen definerer det som "Den delen av kantsteinen som er synlig, sett fra siden". Prestesæter har oppslagsordet uten fuge-s, altså kansteinvis, og angir curb height som engelsk term.

På den annen side skal man alltid være forsiktig med å bruke Prestesæters oversettelse direkte, kvaliteten kan variere en del.

| Hi Leif. Many thanks for your quick response. Curb height makes perfect sense. Maybe my addition of an 's' is what has hampered my search! |
| Thanks eodd. It is the British English version I will be using. |
