If it is a driveway, especially for a business, it may be worthwhile to
stop anyway, not o much to check to see if you are centered, but more to
listen for vehicles entering or exiting that driveway.  

But as for being very centered, most dogs are pretty good about keeping
away from the edge.  In fact, some will hug the building line to put as
much distance between the edge as is possible.

Thanks everyone for all the wonderful replies, I’ll clarify, when
talking about checking the kerbed to make sure I wasn’t in the
street,
it’s mainly just after I’ve crossed a blended drive way or if I’m
in
an unfamiliar location. One place we were walking had the parking lot
blended with the sidewalk, so to make sure we weren’t veering in too
far to the parking lot I’d stop and check to the side with my foot
to
make sure. Note: this is clearly a trust issue with me because he’s
never ever! Been too far from the curb.
