Rules for fold-down parking posts 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 the bay

A free site survey looks at the surface, the bay layout and where wheels run. You receive a fixed written quote for the posts, locks and any concrete pad.

Position the post

The post is placed where your car can straddle it when folded, usually central to the bay entrance, so tyres do not run over the hinge every day.

Drill and anchor

Holes are drilled into sound concrete, cleaned, and resin anchors or through-bolts set. On weak tarmac or block paving, a small concrete pad is formed first.

Fit and torque

The base plate is fixed down and bolts tightened to the anchor maker's figure once the resin has cured. Anti-tamper bolt heads or caps can be fitted.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in West Yorkshire?

For local roads, Bradford Council, Calderdale Council, Kirklees Council, Leeds City Council and Wakefield Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.

Will I damage my car driving over a folded post?

Not if the post is positioned to sit between your wheels and folds low enough for your car's clearance. We check the folded height at installation. Very low cars may need a lower-profile design.

Can a fold-down parking post go on a tarmac drive?

Yes, but not by bolting straight into the tarmac. Tarmac is too soft to hold anchors for long, so we cut in a small concrete pad and fix the post to that. The pad sits flush with the surface.
