Rules for flexible bollards 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. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
Survey traffic movements
The free site survey looks at vehicle sizes, turning paths and where drivers currently clip posts or kerbs. You receive a fixed written quote with post type and fixing.
Check the surface
Slabs and decks are checked for thickness, reinforcement and waterproofing before drilling. Weak tarmac may need a concrete pad or socket base.
Set out the line
Posts are set out to guide vehicles along the intended path, with spacing that reads as a line to drivers.
Fit posts and test
Posts are fitted and bent by hand to confirm they return upright, and reflective sleeves are applied.
Flexible bollards in Hampshire: FAQs

How much do flexible bollards cost in Hampshire?
In Hampshire, typically £205–£635 per bollard, supplied and fixed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £465 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Hampshire?
For local roads, Hampshire County Council, Portsmouth City Council and Southampton City Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
Do flexible bollards damage vehicles?
Typically very little in a low-speed knock, which is a large part of their appeal. They may leave a scuff on paintwork. A rigid post in the same position would usually dent the vehicle and bend itself.
Do flexible bollards work in cold weather?
They do, but polymers become stiffer in cold conditions and recover more slowly after a knock. Sprung-base designs are less affected. Neither type is damaged by normal UK winter temperatures.
