kerb strip
also known as a curb strip or planting strip, is the area of land located between the street curb and the sidewalk. It is often used for planting grass, trees, or other vegetation and can serve as a buffer zone between pedestrians and vehicular traffic. The maintenance responsibility for this area can vary depending on local regulations, sometimes falling to the adjacent property owner or the municipality.
handbrake
a safety feature in road vehicles designed to keep the vehicle stationary when parked. It typically operates on the rear wheels and is engaged through a mechanism that involves pulling a lever or handle, or pressing a pedal. This mechanism is connected to a cable that activates the brakes on the rear wheels, which generally have less traction during braking. The parking brake is crucial for preventing the vehicle from rolling, especially on inclines.
complementary shades
pairs of colors that, when combined, cancel each other out by producing a grayscale color like white or black.
