The stop ensures that curbs are kept away from significant obstacles, that initial stop bank failures can be observed and dealt with, and that substantial buildings are kept away from the most dangerous locations. Controlling the type of embankment on the berm helps to ensure that flood flows will not be significantly impeded on the berm.

Including grazing by livestock or excavating or removing part of a stop bank is intended to prevent damage to a major public asset and potentially catastrophic failure of that asset. Limitation of stop bank barriers is necessary to ensure access for inspection purposes is always possible during flooding.
