These are the main uses of bollards:

1. Traffic Management

• Vehicle Control: Bollards are used to direct vehicle traffic, create lanes, and indicate parking areas. They help manage the flow of vehicles in and out of areas such as car parks, shopping centres, and pedestrian areas.
• Road Safety: They can be installed along road sides to prevent vehicles from encroaching on to pavements, bike lanes, or pedestrian areas, reducing the risk of accidents.

2. Security

• Anti-Ram Protection: Bollards, particularly reinforced or retractable bollards, are used to protect buildings and sensitive areas from vehicle-ramming attacks. They are common around government buildings, airports, banks, and in shopping areas.
• Access Control: Automated bollards can control vehicle access to restricted areas, allowing only authorised vehicles to enter, increasing security. Illuminated Bollards add light which provide extra safety and security.

3. Property Protection

• Building and Infrastructure Protection: Bollards protect buildings, utility installations, and other infrastructure from accidental or intentional vehicle collisions. They are often placed in front of storefronts, gas meters, fire hydrants, and electrical equipment.
• Asset Protection: In public spaces, bollards safeguard features like statues, monuments, and landscaping from being damaged by vehicles.

4. Pedestrian Safety

• Separation from Traffic: Bollards create a physical barrier between pedestrian walkways and vehicular traffic, ensuring the safety of people on foot.
• Guiding Foot Traffic: In crowded areas such as festivals, stadiums, or large events, bollards help guide pedestrian movement and prevent overcrowding.

5. Visual Appeal & Design

• Visual Improvement: Decorative bollards can enhance the visual appeal of public spaces, streetscapes, and parks.They come in various designs, materials, and finishes to complement architectural styles.
• Street Furniture: Bollards can be part of the urban design, doubling as bicycle racks, seating, or planters, contributing to the functionality and visual appeal of public spaces.

6. Temporary and Event Use

• Crowd Control: Temporary bollards are used during events, construction, or emergencies to manage crowds, redirect traffic, and designate specific areas for use.
• Flexibility: Portable or retractable bollards can be deployed and removed as needed, providing flexibility for changing conditions and temporary requirements.

Bollards are important components in urban planning and public safety. They serve multiple functions from traffic and pedestrian management to providing security and improving the look of an area.
