Bollards are small, thick posts commonly made of metal, which have the role of blocking traffic to a certain location. These posts are often seen at entrances on pedestrian-only zones, where you can\u2019t enter with your car, and they are quite effective at keeping vehicles out due to the limited distance between two bollards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These bollards are inserted into the ground, so that significant force would be required to move them out. Even if a car were to crash into a bollard, chances are the one that would sustain the most damage would be the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bollards can help in a lot of applications, for instance keeping vehicles out of areas reserved to children\u2019s playgrounds. If your company has a green area or a playground for kids to enjoy themselves, then it makes a lot of sense that you\u2019d need a bollard to take the danger of traffic out of the equation entirely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you own a commercial building or you are the custodian of a large building or home where you need to be careful of where cars might be able to go, it\u2019s a good idea to consider bollards that can block off traffic in areas where only pedestrians may walk.
