Accident near Traffic Circle

I've always wondered.

Granite curb generally always has a somewhat sharp edge to it, due to the nature of granite. No matter how you cut it, it will likely have a sharp corner. Concrete curbs generally have more rounded edges, but also deteriorate faster, leading to an ugly curb. Either way though, the granite should be near flush when the final layer of asphalt is put down.
