Frequently Asked Questions

Bollards serve diverse purposes, but their core function generally falls into two categories:

  • Protection and Security:
    • Guarding pedestrian zones: Keeping vehicles at bay and ensuring pedestrian safety in sidewalks, pathways, and plazas.
    • Securing entrances and perimeters: Controlling access to buildings, parking lots, and sensitive areas by restricting vehicle movement.
    • Protecting infrastructure: Shielding buildings, monuments, and utilities from accidental or intentional vehicular impact.
  • Traffic Management and Organisation:
    • Channeling traffic flow: Guiding vehicles along desired routes and preventing unauthorised turns or access.
    • Creating parking zones: Delimiting parking spaces and preventing unauthorised parking. 
    • Separating lanes: Dividing traffic lanes for safety and clarity.

Bollards come in a surprising variety, catering to specific needs and aesthetics:

  • Fixed bollards: Offer permanent protection and stability, often made of steel or concrete.
  • Retractable bollards: Allow temporary access control, hydraulically rising or lowering when needed.
  • Removable bollards: Provide flexibility for occasional events or adjustments, typically bolted or locked into place.
  • Decorative bollards: Add an aesthetic touch with artistic designs, lights, or reflective materials.

Several factors contribute to the rising popularity of bollards:

  • Enhanced pedestrian safety: Bollards effectively protect pedestrians from vehicles, creating safer walking and cycling environments.
  • Traffic management flexibility: They offer versatile options for controlling traffic flow and promoting orderly movement.
  • Security and anti-terrorism measures: Bollards provide effective physical barriers against unauthorised vehicle access and potential attacks.
  • Aesthetics and urban design: Modern bollards can be aesthetically pleasing, adding visual interest and complementing various architectural styles.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Compared to permanent structures like walls, bollards offer a relatively affordable solution for various needs.
