“A curb separated from the sidewalk by a grass strip is a feature of the road, not the sidewalk. Its primaiy functions are to channel surface water from the road into storm drains and to serve as a barrier for cars to park against. Although such a curb is sometimes used by pedestrians to cross the street, like a road it is a significantly less immediate means of pedestrian ingress and egress to the abutting property than is a sidewalk. [ 221 N.J.Super. at 65 , 533 A.2d 977 .]”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“We do not reach the question of whether the same duty should be imposed on owners of residential property or whether the policy considerations underlying the impositions of a duty on commercial property owners apply to residential property owners. We note, however, that the law of sidewalk liability is an appropriate subject for reconsideration by the Legislature. [Id. at 159 n. 6, 432 A.2d 881 .]”
