We are happy to give them useful tips and advice.

Controlling traffic

The main reason to install a bollard is to control traffic. You can use them in all kinds of locations to restrict or deny access. This can help to support pedestrian only zones. It can also be great if you want to prevent illegal parking and use of private roads. They are even suitable for wider spaces because you can place several with suitable spacing to ensure a vehicle cannot squeeze past them.

Improving safety

Another use for a bollard is to improve safety. Sadly there has been a big increase in the number of cases where people intentionally try to drive cars into pedestrians and buildings. Luckily bollards can help. It is possible to place them so that vehicles cannot mount kerbs or enter areas they should not. They can even protect vital infrastructure like cash machines and bus or train stations.
