I am in the middle of receiving quotes from contractors to lay a new gravel driveway.
Could someone please suggest which types edge paving to specify, to form a sort of ramp where the driveway meets the pavement?
I have looked throughout this and other web-sites, and I can't find any information about it.

Thanks James
But I was rather hoping to find out which ones would be best for a) retaining the gravel and b) driving across without dragging too much gravel onto the pavement.
I have just googles "KL kerbs" but they seem to form a high edge, as one might want along a flower bed.
The type of pavers that one drives across that are slightly raised, do they have a name?

The two most common methods of trapping gravel and preventing it being carried onto the public highway are the convex 'rumble strip' of setts, as you have chosen, or its inverse: a dished channel.
Personally, the rumble strip is a much better option but even so, it will require regular attention to drag gravel back onto the driveway and prevent it building-up at the back of the RS
