Yeah,you gotta figure that the steering is already cut allowing the curb to strike 'inward' of the tires normal sidewall position.Black rubber scrub marks on the curb wall suggest that many drivers (me included) have a tough time 'seeing' the hazard.
The dam is certainly not ideal aerodynamically,but may be a very pragmatic compromise to keep customers out of body shop service bays.
