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
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.
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.

Do ANPR cameras at our entrance raise data protection issues?
They collect personal data, so you need to handle it properly, including signage, a privacy notice and sensible retention periods. Your data protection adviser can confirm what applies to your site. We can set retention and access options on the system to match.
How do visitors and delivery drivers get through?
Usually by intercom to reception or a phone, by a temporary code, or by a timed delivery window. Some systems issue time-limited access to a visitor's number plate. The choice depends on how many visitors arrive and who is there to manage them.
