If you’ve ever seen a bollard, you may be wondering how often they are used and if they can be used to protect your land or any other areas that need safeguarding. Luckily, security bollards can be used for a variety of applications for various industries. See if these common uses can fit your property’s needs.
Blocking Access
Some areas need to be protected from vehicular access at all times. Permanent bollards can be used to prevent access to parking areas, storefronts, driveways, near site perimeters of government buildings and many other areas to provide a visual deterrent to drivers. For temporary project sites that still require the utmost security measures, you can also use removable or collapsible bollards.Controlling Traffic
Roads can be incredibly dangerous, especially when traffic is coming and going throughout the day. If traffic isn’t kept under control, a driver may accidentally swerve into a pedestrian on the sidewalk or into another vehicle on the road. By installing security posts near sensitive, accident-prone areas, like bicycle paths, you can protect those who frequent the area. For temporary construction projects or any other event that requires safeguarding for a limited time, removable bollards can prohibit unauthorized traffic effectively.
