for something so low down and fixed to concrete ide suggest using aluminium before composite. composite is a great product but it is relatively soft.
you also have to be careful on the adhesive you use because "some" cure at high temp levels causing dimples or distortion on the face. you cannot see it face on, but once the sun hits the sign viewed at an angle the dimples show up bad.
another alternative to an adhesive is threaded rods soldered to the rear of aluminium. works on same principle as a locator. drill holes, fill with a chemical fixing and leave. cures fast and its fixed solid.
also, BIGHead fixings can be used too. work a treat...
Kerb stones are relatively flat, but you should keep in mind you will need to have a pretty thick adhesive to self leave a rigid panel or you could have several areas fixed solid with one floating area.
also keep in mind how quickly the adhesive cures.
if the sign is fixed on the face of the kerb, you will need something to hold in place with the adhesive solidifies or you run the risk of the panel sliding.
