Road safety bollards are vertical posts or barriers designed to control traffic movement, protect pedestrians, and provide security for sensitive areas. They are widely used to restrict vehicle entry, create lane divisions, safeguard sidewalks, and prevent collisions in high-traffic zones.
These bollards are manufactured from high-quality steel, cast iron, or polyurethane (PU) and are available in both fixed and removable designs. Some bollards are also flexible/rebounding to absorb vehicle impacts without permanent damage.
To ensure maximum visibility, bollards are coated with UV-resistant paint in bright colors such as yellow, red, or black, and are fitted with retro-reflective strips for night visibility. In modern applications, LED-illuminated or automatic retractable bollards are also used for high-security areas like airports, government offices, embassies, and corporate campuses.
