Rules for pedestrian protection bollards 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
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
Excavate and set
Each position is cut, dug and checked for services, and the posts are set plumb in concrete to a consistent height.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
Agree a plan for live trading
Work is phased so entrances and walkways stay open, with each section fenced while it is dug and set. Busy sites often prefer early starts or quieter weekdays.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in East Dunbartonshire?

Do pedestrian protection bollards need to be crash-rated?
Not usually. They deal with low-speed driver errors, so firmly founded steel posts often suffice. Where an owner, insurer or designer wants proven performance, PAS 170-1 tested products are the usual choice.
Will bollards block trolleys?
They should not if gaps are planned for trolleys and wheelchairs. Main routes to trolley bays need wider openings. We set gaps to suit the way the site works.
