Rules for bollard access control systems 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
Lay ducts and pedestals
Ducts are laid from the controller to each device, and pedestals or posts are set in concrete. Loops for exit and detection are cut and sealed.
Wire and connect
A qualified electrician installs power, and devices are connected to the bollard controller and to any network or building system.
Programme and test
Users, plates, codes and schedules are entered, and every entry and exit route is tested with vehicles, including what happens when access is refused.
Hand over
You are shown how to add and remove users, read logs and use the emergency override. Credentials and settings are recorded.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Denbighshire?

Will vehicles leaving get trapped?
Not if exit detection is fitted. An exit loop in the road lowers the bollard automatically as a vehicle approaches from inside. On some sites a push button or exit reader is used instead.
Is ANPR or fob access better for an automatic bollard?
ANPR suits sites with many regular users who should not have to stop or carry a fob. Fobs suit sites where users change vehicles or where you want each person to have their own credential. Many sites use ANPR for staff and an intercom for visitors.
