A bollard is a sturdy, short post or pillar that is typically made of metal or concrete and used to control or direct traffic, enhance security, or provide protection for buildings and infrastructure. Bollards can be found in various environments, including streets, parking lots, pedestrian areas, and sensitive locations such as government buildings or airports.

The primary purpose of bollards is to regulate and manage the flow of vehicles and pedestrians. They are strategically placed to define boundaries, prevent unauthorized access, and ensure safety. Bollards often act as visual and physical barriers, guiding traffic and preventing vehicles from entering restricted areas. They help maintain order, minimize congestion, and safeguard pedestrian zones.

In addition to their traffic management function, bollards are also widely employed for security purposes. They can be installed around critical infrastructure or sensitive locations to deter ramming attacks or unauthorized entry. Bollards provide a protective barrier against vehicle-borne threats, acting as a first line of defense. Some bollards are designed to withstand high-impact collisions and are crash-rated, offering an enhanced level of security.

Bollards come in various styles and designs, ranging from simple and utilitarian to decorative and aesthetically pleasing. They can be fixed, removable, or retractable, depending on the specific requirements of the location. Removable and retractable bollards offer flexibility, allowing access for authorized vehicles when needed while maintaining security at other times.
