Deter or stop oncoming vehicles?

The first question you should ask yourself when shopping for bollards is: "Do I need to deter or stop oncoming vehicles?"

If you can honestly answer that you aren't concerned about vehicular traffic then a surface mounted bollard or an architectural lighting bollard will likely meet your needs. These bollards direct traffic and delineate pedestrian walkways. While these bollards are our most economical they should not be relied upon to stop a vehicle

Most of our customers need to stop oncoming traffic. The next question is what level of protection you need. We often break this down into:

1. How large a vehicle do I need to stop?
2. How fast will that vehicle be traveling?

We cover vehicle size in Part 2 of our Getting Started series.
