Traffic Barriers

Traffic barriers are an essential safety solution for managing vehicle flow, protecting pedestrians, and safeguarding assets in public, commercial, and industrial environments. Designed to control access, direct traffic, and prevent accidental impact, traffic barriers play a vital role in ensuring safety and organisation across a variety of sites.

At The Bollard Centre, we offer a wide range of steel traffic barriers to suit different applications, from permanent perimeter control to flexible access management. Our barriers are made to work well in busy places. You can use them for car parks, loading bays, or pedestrian areas.

What is a Traffic Barrier?

A traffic barrier is a physical structure installed to control or restrict vehicle movement. Typically made from galvanised steel or heavy-duty materials, these barriers are used to define boundaries, guide vehicles safely, and protect people, property, and infrastructure from accidental collisions.

Traffic barriers can be permanent or removable, fixed or flexible, depending on the level of access required. Their visibility, durability, and impact resistance make them an effective safety measure in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Key Features and Benefits

• Durable Construction – Made from high-quality steel, many of our traffic barriers are galvanised to provide excellent corrosion resistance, even in harsh weather conditions.
• Highly Visible – Bright finishes, often in yellow or black/yellow colour schemes, ensure that barriers are easily seen by drivers and pedestrians.
• Versatile Installation – Available in bolt-down, concrete-in, or removable designs to suit both temporary and permanent installations.
• Impact Protection – Designed to withstand knocks from vehicles such as forklifts, delivery vans, or trolleys, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding structures.
• Access Control – Removable and demountable options allow for flexible access where needed, such as during deliveries or emergency vehicle access.

Types of Traffic Barriers

The Hooped Perimeter Barrier – 48mm Diameter Galvanised Removable is an ideal solution for areas where occasional vehicle access is required. Its galvanised steel finish offers long-lasting protection against rust and wear, making it suitable for outdoor use in car parks, industrial estates, or pedestrianised zones.

The removable design means it can be securely installed when needed and taken out quickly when access is required. This makes it perfect for flexible traffic management and temporary restriction of access points.

Applications

Our permanent traffic barriers are used across a wide variety of locations to enhance safety, improve traffic flow, and protect assets. Common applications include:

• Commercial car parks and forecourts
• Industrial estates and logistics hubs
• Pedestrian zones and retail parks
• Warehousing and loading bays
• Schools, hospitals, and public buildings
• Event venues and temporary access control points
