Rules for bollard access control systems 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
Understand the users
At the free site survey we ask who uses the entrance, how many, how often they change, and how visitors and deliveries arrive. That decides the entry method, and a fixed written quote follows.
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.
Hand over
You are shown how to add and remove users, read logs and use the emergency override. Credentials and settings are recorded.

Can the fire brigade open the bollards?
They should be able to, through an override agreed with them, such as a key switch, a code or a link to the fire alarm. We test the arrangement before handover. It should be reviewed if the site changes.
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.
