Rules for automatic bollards in England
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
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.
Commission and test
Rise and fall times, loop detection, photocells, lights and the manual release are tested with vehicles present. Safety settings are recorded against the risk assessment.
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 West Yorkshire?
For local roads, Bradford Council, Calderdale Council, Kirklees Council, Leeds City Council and Wakefield Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
Should I choose hydraulic or electro-mechanical bollards?
Choose by how often the bollard will move and how you want it maintained. Hydraulic units suit busy entrances and heavier rated posts but need fluid and seal checks. Electro-mechanical units avoid fluid and are often simpler to look after at moderate traffic levels.
Why do automatic bollards need drainage?
The bollard sits in a pit that collects rain and silt. Without a drain, water corrodes the mechanism, short-circuits electrics and can freeze the post in place. A drain connection is part of every automatic installation we carry out.
