Best Bollards for Protecting Retail Storefronts from Vehicles
For general storefront protection against accidental vehicle impact like parking lot roll-aways and misjudged turns, fixed or removable security bollards rated for low-speed impact are typically sufficient. For higher-risk storefronts like busy retail corridors, locations near intersections, or properties with a history of vehicle strikes, a crash-rated bollard (10–20 MPH, ASTM F3016 tested) offers a meaningful step up in protection without the cost of a full 30 MPH system.
Best Bollards for Protecting Storefront Windows from Vehicles
Storefront glass is a specific failure point; it's not just the wall that needs protecting. TrafficGuard's Core-In fixed bollards are engineered for minimally invasive installation close to existing structures, making them well-suited for placement directly in front of glass storefronts where standard deep-footing installation isn't practical. Pair with our Buyer's Guide to calculate correct standoff distance from the glass line.
Best Crash-Rated Bollards for High-Security Facility Entrances
Facilities with elevated security requirements like corporate headquarters and data centers typically need 30 MPH crash-rated bollards tested to ASTM F3016 for a 5,000 lb. vehicle impact. Fixed embedded models offer maximum permanent protection. Removable locking models allow controlled access for authorized vehicles while maintaining the same crash rating.
Best Crash-Rated Bollards for High-Traffic Commercial Entrances
High-traffic entrances for shopping centers and stores with heavy vehicle flow need bollards that balance crash protection with day-to-day durability and visibility. 20 MPH crash-rated bollards are the most common fit here, and lighted or reflective models add a visibility layer for entrances used around the clock.
Best Crash-Rated Bollards for Retail Storefront Protection
For retail specifically, the goal is usually protection that doesn't compromise the customer experience. 10–20 MPH fixed or Core-In crash-rated bollards in powder-coated finishes give retailers ASTM-tested protection while keeping a lower visual footprint than heavy-duty 30 MPH systems built for higher-threat facilities.
