3 Uses of Lighted Bollards at Public Buildings

Building designers use bollards to create more vibrant spaces while keeping them safe. Bollards are great safety features that add style and accessibility for people walking and driving by these areas. Give your town more style and safety by installing bollards. If you need placement ideas, here are the three most frequent uses of lighted bollards at public buildings.

Traffic Control

When dealing with congested public areas, you may experience high foot and vehicle traffic. Designating walking and driving paths with bollards is the best way to navigate the flow and reduce accidents. They block prohibited areas and protect pedestrians from vehicles while crossing streets and getting around buildings.

If an accident was to happen, know that the pillars are cemented into the ground and bend when cars hit them, minimizing damage to the vehicle. Since bollards are typically permanent, many are retractable and temporary, creating more flexibility in traffic control in areas that experience large crowds.

Building Protection

Protection is essential when preserving buildings. In larger cities or popular small towns, you might see bollards around houses and other buildings for protection from inclement weather, vandalism, and theft.

Many parts of public buildings need protection and can keep traffic moving on the sidewalk. Keep everyone safe and within walking distance of your building's vulnerable areas by installing bollards.

Lighting Pathways

Every city path needs light. Whether you’re looking to brighten up college campuses, nature paths at the park, or a parking lot, you can reach your goal of safety and style with pillars. They are an excellent way to illuminate dark areas in the evenings and throughout the night.

Coastal cities can utilize lighted poles in their town’s layout as well. Each pillar increases visibility for pedestrians to see where they’re going when walking near water. Manufacturers create these bollards by installing a light unit in the base of the bollard; the light unit can glow at all angles from the pillar.

You can use bollards around public buildings in many ways, and some of the most common are related to the amount of traffic in one area. If you know of a particular area where you’d like to introduce bollards, you have found the right company!
