Absolute Bollards! Removing bad bollards

Bollards can be dangerous and obstructive to rightful use of pedestrian and cycle routes.

Badly-positioned bollards and chicanes can stop people with prams, wheelchairs, handcycles, tricycles and other mobility aids from accessing the safe off-road routes they need to make a journey.

Badly-designed bollards which are not easy to see result in collisions, and bollards which are hard and sharp cause more injury when there are collisions.

We are currently working on a design guide on when and how to use bollards in route design.
