If you want to stop people driving over grass verges or parking on them then these are for you. They can be made from many materials, such as wood, metal and plastic. They block vehicles from driving onto the area preventing the ground from being damaged.

Provision for curbside loading can improve compliance, such as timed freight parking on the other side of the street or around the corner from loading destinations.

All fixed bollards will need occasional cleaning to ensure that reflective surfaces stay visible. Otherwise, they are mostly a maintenance-free item.

Wider sidewalks, especially those buffered with plantings or furnishings, increase pedestrian safety and comfort adjacent to curbside transit lanes.

There are many ways to install bollards, this varies depending on the type chosen and the material or surface you are fixing them into.

Curbside lanes may be separated with hard barriers (e.g. concrete curbs), which may be intermittent or continuous. Where nearly continuous, curbs should at least be omitted for short segments to allow buses to pass, or to allow buses to pass break-downs or incursions.

A curbside transit lane can have differing, flexible uses throughout the day, such as parking or a shared bus-bike use. However, full-time lane dedication improves integrity in some conditions.

Parking bollards are used to serve two purposes. They prevent access to parking spaces that are reserved for specific persons. Flexible parking bollards are fitted to parking bays to provide an indication of where the front of the bay is. This will not damage a vehicle should contact be made.

If 13 feet of width is available, full-time curbside bus lanes may be separated with left-side, traversable barriers, such as rumble strips. Separation is not appropriate in all contexts, and must be developed with special care for its impact on walking and bicycling access. If curbing or other hard separation is used, including mountable curbs, bus lanes should be designed to allow passing at selected points. The impact on snowplowing operations should be evaluated when considering the use of curbs to separate the bus lane from other traffic, in climates where snow is a possibility.

Where snow is a consideration, lanes must be cleared in such a way that plowed snow does not block the lane for transit vehicles. Stop locations must also be kept completely clear of snow at boarding areas.

Where rain pooling is an issue, gutters and drainage in bus lanes next to the curb must be kept clear to avoid splashing onto the sidewalk. Concrete gutters or lanes may be preferable for curbside bus lanes.

Because bus stops are typically located directly on the adjacent sidewalk, stops must leave enough room for waiting passengers and passing pedestrian traffic.

The desired width of a curbside bus lane next to a mixed-traffic lane is 10–12 feet, including a gutterpan if present. Bus-only lanes should not typically exceed 12 feet in width. If target operating speeds between stops are low, typically below 25 mph, 11-foot lanes are preferable to 12-foot lanes. If buses operate in an adjacent lane, a 12-foot curbside lane is desired.

Our metal bollards are made from painted steel, galvanised steel or stainless steel. The desired look and application will dictate which material the bollard is made from.
