[Tagging] Kerbs

[marc marc]

a 2mm kerb (the last picture) is imho a lowered.
I don't see what value added would bring the fact that the angle of 
these 2mm is square. for me it is necessary to remember the purpose of 
the tag: accessibility. if all profiles pass this kerb without a 
problem, it's lowered.

the problem is for other profiles (the accessibility of a curved kerb is 
very difficult to evaluate).

It is it's disappointing to see that in 2017, we are still new crosing 
that does not have kerb=lowered.
