8153 Rediweld has introduced a new narrower version of its surface-mounted Orca cycle lane separator called the Orca Kerb which is only 150mm wide rather than 200mm as in the original unit.

Also unlike the original, the recycled rubber Orca Kerb comes in lengths of up to 1m allowing intermittent or continuous segregation of cycle lanes.
