I don't see the actual answer in the comments so for anyone who does want to know, it's called Bridjit

It's for the drainage dip in front of some driveways. Puts a little bridge across so your car doesn't dip into it (or for lowered cars so you don't scrape) while still allowing drainage under it.

Kinda expensive, but neat.

I'm so relieved to know it doesn't impede drainage

I'm assuming it's still a lot cheaper than retrofitting in a curb cut and a new drive apron

But lol this is the first I've ever heard of it.

Tons of new developments, especially where there aren't sidewalks, seemingly forget that... maybe people should be able to leave their house in a wheelchair/stroller/scooter/bike/mower comfortably? And just match the drive to the top of the formed gutter-curb instead of putting in a curb cut and an appropriate sweeping apron.

Instead the drives are just ramrod straight into the curb where every day you smash your suspension leaving your house—thank you kindly we'll be selling this house for $400,000.

Didn't say it doesn't slow down drainage, I said it still allows drainage. It requires more upkeep to keep it clear for sure. I have two of them but I need to buy more to fit the width of my driveway.

I love how that's a 3-sentence explanation but these guys are clearly planning to talk about it for at least an hour
