In the USA, rural roads, motorways, and some suburban roads have no curb at 
all; you simply have a point at which the pavement stops, often with a graveled 
shoulder extending a little further.   This situation would logically be mapped 
as kerb=no.  I have seen flush curbs as well, presumably where a road has been 
repaved multiple times without milling away the old pavement.  From a purely 
functional view, this is the same thing as having no curb, and is likely to be 
paved over the next time the road is resurfaced.
