Rules for driveway security posts in Scotland
Works in a public road or footway need the roads authority's written consent under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
Mark the position
The position is marked with the car in place, so we can check it blocks the car and that you can still open doors and walk past.
Cut the surface
Block paving is lifted carefully for reuse; tarmac, concrete or resin is cut neatly to keep the patch as small as possible.
Fit the post
Telescopic cassettes and removable sockets are set flush in concrete with drainage beneath. Fold-down posts are anchored to concrete or a small new pad.
Make good and show you
The surface is reinstated and cleaned. We show you how to lock, lower and raise the post and hand over the keys.
Driveway security posts in Falkirk: FAQs

How much do driveway security posts cost in Falkirk?
In Falkirk, typically £385–£845 per post, supplied and installed, including VAT, with a minimum job of £395 plus VAT, using our Scotland guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Falkirk?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (Falkirk Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
Do I need two posts for two cars?
Not always. On a narrow drive where one car parks behind the other, one post at the front may be enough. On a wide drive with cars side by side, two posts are usually needed to block both.
Where should a driveway security post go?
Close enough in front of the car, or between it and the road, that the car cannot be driven round it. We mark the position with your car in place during the survey. Sloping drives and wide frontages may change the obvious spot.
