While
permanently placed concrete bollards have some very good uses, they are not
alway the most practical choice. In fact, for some aspects of traffic control,
removable bollards are actually the best option. This type of bollard allows
for temporary changes to create better access control.
Reinforcing Road Rules:
In
a Utopian society, no one speeds, and having an “Emergency Vehicles Only” sign
or a road marked “No Entrance” would be sufficient to keep restricted areas
free of unwanted vehicles. In reality, there are always some drivers, who
either accidentally or intentionally cause chaos in off limits areas. This can
cause delays and problems for emergency or maintenance vehicles. There is
nothing more frustrating than these vehicles being stuck behind an illegally
parked vehicle or someone driving at ten kph while they figure out where they
can make a U turn. With removable bollards, Perth property owners can reinforce
the road rules where and when they need it. They can allow you to prevent
access by unauthorised vehicles without restricting access completely.
Traffic Control When You Need It:
Whether
you need to control vehicle access to certain areas seasonally or every day
removable or retractable bollards can provide the answer. This type of bollard
is easy to move, which means that you can prevent vehicle access, but allow it
for authorised vehicles when you need it. For example, you may not want
vehicles driving onto your property when you have forklift trucks and other
heavy machinery operating in the yard. However, if you are expecting a delivery
or there is some kind of emergency on site, you can remove the bollard to allow
access.
You
can also use retractable or removable bollards to control traffic flow around
your property. For example, if you have delivery slots for vans to collect
goods at certain despatch times, you may want to close off areas to additional
traffic.
Avoid Parking Issues:
If
your business premises are located in a busy area, you may find that shoppers
and other visitors sneak onto your carpark and occupy valuable parking slots.
This can be remarkably frustrating, particularly if you have team members who
have flexible working hours. However, you can use removable or retractable
bollards on each space to ensure that there are no unauthorised visitors in
your carpark. Alternatively, if your team has set working hours, you could use
a removable bollard at the carpark entrance as soon as everyone has arrived to
completely restrict access.
Removablebollards offer high visibility, and while they may not withstand a high impact
collision, they can be an excellent method of controlling traffic and ensuring
pedestrian and vehicle safety on your property.
