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
Plan positions
Readers, cameras and intercoms are placed so drivers stop well before the bollard, with queueing space off the public road where possible.
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.
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.
