Rules for pedestrian protection 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

Set out the line

Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.

Reinstate

Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.

Add bands and markings

Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.

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.

Should bollards be added at a drive-thru order point?

Often, yes, where people queue or sit beside the lane. Posts should follow the curve of the lane and be closest together at corners, where drivers tend to misjudge the turn. The positions are agreed on site with the operator.

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.
