Safety Bollard Solutions: Guide to Protection, Impact Resistance & Use Cases

Safety bollards are essential site protection devices used to prevent vehicle impact, control traffic flow, protect structures, and safeguard pedestrians across commercial, industrial, and public environments.

Affordable Protection That Makes a Difference

Safety bollards provide a vital layer of protection for people, property, and infrastructure. While they’re not engineered to stop a vehicle traveling at high speed (like crash-rated barriers), safety bollards are less expensive to purchase and install—yet they deliver tremendous value by deterring vehicles, guiding traffic, and alerting drivers to restricted or hazardous areas.

Built to Protect People, Property, and Equipment

Safety bollards are one of the most effective ways to prevent accidents, protect assets, and guide vehicle or pedestrian traffic. Whether securing a busy warehouse, safeguarding a storefront, or marking boundaries in a parking lot, safety bollards provide the physical barrier needed to stop vehicles before they cause damage.

At Bollards Plus, we build every safety bollard in-house, using heavy-duty U.S. steel with professional finishes. Our solutions are affordable, effective, and customizable—giving you maximum safety without unnecessary cost.

Safety Bollards and Their Importance

  • Proven deterrence: Even a single bollard can prevent drivers from making costly errors, such as rolling into storefronts, sidewalks, or machinery.

  • Affordable safety: Because they’re not engineered for high-speed crash ratings, safety bollards are cheaper to buy and faster to install, saving money on both material and labor.

  • Traffic guidance: Brightly painted safety bollards provide visual cues that direct drivers, keeping vehicles away from pedestrian walkways, utilities, and restricted areas.

  • Risk reduction: Facilities that install bollards at entry points, around assets, and in high-traffic zones experience fewer incidents of property damage and pedestrian injury.

Parking Lot Safety Bollards

Parking lots are one of the highest-risk areas for vehicle accidents. Our parking lot safety bollards protect pedestrians, storefronts, and property while helping drivers navigate lanes and avoid restricted areas.

Parking Lot Sign Post Bollards

Signage only works if it’s visible and protected. Our parking lot sign post bollards shield ADA signs, traffic markers, and directional posts from accidental vehicle strikes. This ensures compliance, visibility, and safety—without the expense of replacing damaged signage.

Heavy Duty Safety Bollards

When higher levels of protection are needed—such as around warehouses, loading docks, or industrial machinery—our heavy duty safety bollards deliver unmatched strength and reliability. Built from thicker, stronger steel, they are engineered to stand up to repeated impacts, resist bending, and outlast lighter, cheaper alternatives. The result is a bollard that not only provides superior stopping power but also lasts longer and requires fewer replacements, making them both more affordable over time and more dependable than anything the competition offers.

Folding Safety Bollards

For sites requiring flexible access, folding bollards are a smart solution. They lock upright to restrict vehicles, then fold down to allow passage when needed. They’re often used for private driveways, reserved parking, or restricted areas where full crash-rated barriers aren’t necessary.
