The new road solution has been installed as part of traffic safety measures, and is a "first for Gunnedah".
"Rubber kerbing is a cleaner and greener traffic solution that is made from recycled materials and can be removed if necessary," Gunnedah Shire Council works manager Richard Baxter said.

"Unlike the more traditional concrete kerbing, white rubber kerbing is resistant to road grime, doesn't crack, and does not need a lot of maintenance to retain visibility.
"It is also cost effective and absorbs vehicle impact."
Rubber kerbing has become more widely used around the country, and is already in use in the Narrabri shire.
The roundabout project is funded under the state government's Black Spot Program, and is expected to be finished in July.
