They help, but one shouldn't count on them. The fact is that a bicycle won't mount them smoothly and rider will still spill when they're struck at the wrong angle.
My only
wish regulation for curbs, is that they be painted or otherwise made to contrast with the roadway. I see too many instances where the sidewalks, curbs, and roadways are of a single material and color and the curb is nearly invisible at times.
