Parking Bollard Applications

Parking bollards are access control and safety devices that effectively increase the safety of pedestrians and motorists in parking garages and lots. They serve as visual and physical reminders to help maintain traffic flow and deter drivers from accessing pedestrian zones.

Benefits of Parking Lot Bollards

Parking lot bollards are ideal additions to structures because of their benefits. Some results these cost-efficient installations can deliver for pedestrians, motorists and property owners include:

• Enhancing safety, security and traffic control: Parking bollards are more than poles installed on sidewalks and storefronts. They serve as a safety measure for pedestrians, especially in roadside locations. Bollards are also efficient traffic management solutions that help maintain traffic flow by guiding motorists toward the correct lanes.
• Protecting pedestrians and structures: One of the most well-known benefits of a parking garage bollard is the protection it offers for pedestrians and structures. Bollards help ensure pedestrian safety in parking lots by serving as visual and physical deterrents for drivers. These products are especially vital for parking garages, where the space is usually tight for maneuvering.

Types of Parking Lot Bollards

Parking lot bollards come in various types with different materials and functionality.

Fixed vs. Removable Bollards

Fixed bollards are permanently installed structures. They are typically made of aluminum or stainless steel and are suitable for heavy-duty applications. Their bolt-down installation feature secures them in place, making them ideal for traffic control. Surface-mounted bollards specifically are bolt-down bollards that are effective in defining pathways in parking applications.

Removable bollards are more of a temporary solution. These options are detachable and portable, allowing easy transport and installation as needed. This type of bollard is ideal for places that require the product’s services at different times and locations.

Blockaides, Inc. was able to apply our pedestrian safety solutions for FIGat7th in Downtown Los Angeles. The premier lifestyle center, located just a few blocks away from the Staples Center and LA Live, needed upgrades for its parking garage, which accommodates more than 2,000 vehicles each year.

For this project, Blockaides, Inc. installed a BarricAide™ for pedestrians, a safety solution package of bollards, signage and striping, and “car stopper” barriers for extra protection.
