Rules for automatic bollards in Wales
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Rising bollards should fail safe, never rise beneath a vehicle, carry clear signs and give the emergency services an override.

How installation works
Survey and risk assessment
A free site survey covers traffic patterns, who uses the entrance, power, drainage routes and buried services. We draft the safety arrangement from that, and you receive a fixed written quote.
Excavate and set cassettes
Each cassette pit is excavated to the manufacturer's depth, with the base prepared to drain. Cassettes are set to finished road level and fall, then concreted in.
Power and controls
A qualified electrician installs the supply and isolation, and the controller, traffic lights, photocells and access devices are mounted and wired.
Train and hand over
Site staff are shown how to lower the bollard in an emergency and how to recognise faults. You receive keys, the commissioning record and the manufacturer's manuals.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Pembrokeshire?
For local roads, Pembrokeshire County Council; the Welsh Government covers trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the authority's written agreement.
What stops a rising bollard hitting a car?
A safety loop in the road detects a vehicle above or close to the bollard and blocks the rise, backed up by photocells. Traffic lights and head lights tell drivers when to stop. The settings are tested on site with vehicles before handover.
Can rising bollards be installed on a public road?
Only with the highway authority's approval, and they will set requirements for signs, signals and operation. On private land the decision is yours, but the same safety principles apply.
