Pedestrians and cyclists can enjoy a safe environment without vehicles or traffic when they pass through an area protected by bollards. 

Bollards provided by Safety Xpress can also be used in Disabled Shared Zones to restrict access of vehicles. They can also be used to highlight an area for the safe parking of vehicles and create a limit to where vehicles may proceed. They help in creating a boundary for pedestrians by protecting the footpath from vehicle access and the damage or injury this could cause. In doing so, bollards will increase the safety of your carpark; helping to control the traffic and keep your carpark well organised.

FAQs

What are bollards?

Bollards are sturdy posts installed to guide or restrict access, protect assets and improve safety. They are used in public spaces, workplaces and industrial areas across Australia.

Are bollards effective?

Yes, safety bollards are effective for controlling vehicle movement, securing property and improving pedestrian safety. Their strength and visibility make them a reliable safety solution.

What are safety bollards?

Safety bollards are designed to protect people, vehicles and property by acting as barriers. They can prevent unauthorised access, separate traffic from pedestrians and reduce risks in construction and warehouse environments.

What is the Australian standard for safety bollards?

In Australia, bollards must comply with AS/NZS 3845.2:2017, which sets requirements for road safety devices such as security bollards and traffic bollards. This standard covers crash performance, strength, installation and visibility to ensure bollards provide effective protection in both public and industrial environments.

Do safety bollards have to be yellow?

Not all safety bollards need to be yellow, but high-visibility colours are recommended to make them stand out. Many industrial bollards use yellow for compliance and visibility, though other colours and finishes are available.

Will a bollard stop a car?

Strong security bollards, especially in-ground and impact-rated designs, can stop or slow a vehicle. The effectiveness depends on the type of bollard, installation method and the speed of the vehicle.

How do I choose between surface mount, in-ground (core-drilled) and base plate installation methods?

The proper bollard installation method depends on the level of protection required, the surface being installed into and how permanent the solution needs to be.

Surface-mount (base-plate / bolt-down) bollards are fixed directly onto existing concrete using anchor bolts. They are commonly used where ground penetration is not possible and where moderate impact resistance is suitable.

In-ground or core-drilled bollards are set into the ground with concrete footings. This method offers the highest level of strength and stability, making it suitable for vehicle impact areas, asset protection and perimeter safety.

When should I choose a removable, fold-down or retractable bollard for access control?

Removable safety bollards are a practical choice where access needs to change frequently, such as in shared driveways, service lanes or restricted parking zones. They allow full clearance when removed while still offering a visible barrier when in place.

Fold-down and retractable bollards are better suited to areas that require frequent access changes. These are often used in commercial car parks, emergency access points and loading zones. They stay fixed to the ground but can be lowered or retracted quickly, reducing handling effort while maintaining control over vehicle entry.

What is the difference between high-impact security bollards and flexible or low-impact traffic bollards?

Flexible bollards for sale are designed to guide traffic rather than stop vehicles. Made from materials such as polyurethane, they bend on impact and return to their original position. They’re used in car parks, traffic lanes and areas with frequent vehicle movement where damage prevention is a priority.

Low-impact bollards provide more resistance and may cause minor vehicle damage, serving as both a visual and physical deterrent. High-impact security bollards are built for strength and are designed to resist or stop vehicle impact. These are typically steel bollards set into concrete and are used in high-risk locations, such as building perimeters, infrastructure sites and controlled access zones.

What are the pros and cons of steel vs. plastic or recycled material bollards in the Australian climate?

Steel bollards are valued for their strength, durability and ability to withstand impact. They perform well in high-risk and high-traffic environments but may require protective finishes to manage corrosion, particularly in coastal or industrial areas.

Plastic and recycled material bollards are lightweight, UV-resistant and well-suited to guiding traffic or marking hazards. They are less affected by moisture and do not rust, but they offer limited impact resistance.

In the Australian climate, the choice often comes down to balancing durability, visibility and the level of protection required.

How far apart should bollards be spaced to comply with Australian accessibility standards (AS 1428)?

When you install safety bollards, spacing must allow safe passage for pedestrians, including people using wheelchairs or mobility aids. Under AS 1428.1, a continuous accessible path of travel generally requires a minimum unobstructed width of 1000 mm.

The exact spacing depends on who needs to pass through the area. Some sites install safety bollards to restrict vehicle access while still allowing pedestrians and cyclists to move freely. Careful spacing supports accessibility without compromising safety or overall site flow.

Do I need a council permit or professional installation to place safety bollards on my property or public ground?

Permit/approval requirements depend on where the bollards go and how they’re installed. If the bollards are on public land/road reserve (e.g., nature strip, footpath area), councils often require approval.

For private property, permits may still be required in some circumstances (e.g., certain developments, interfaces with public land or where underground services and safety requirements apply). Professional installation of most bollards for sale is recommended for structural performance, safe anchoring into suitable concrete and meeting any applicable council/engineering requirements.
