Figure 11. Flexible Bollards
Figure 12. Removable Bollards
Where removable bollards are used, the top of the mount point should be flush with the path’s surface so
as not to create a hazard. At the time of this publication, flexible bollards that do not leave an anchored
mounting device on the path or roadway surface when removed are not commercially available.
All posts shall be permanently reflectorized for nighttime visibility and painted a bright color for
improved daytime visibility. Figure 13 shows a recommended pavement striping pattern to reduce the
risk of user collisions with the bollard.
Figure 13. Bollard Striping
When more than one post is used, an odd number of posts at 5-foot spacing is desirable. Wider spacing
can allow entry by adult tricycles, wheelchair users and bicycles with trailers.
Fencing & Access Gates
Fencing can serve multiple purposes along trail facilities, including access control, channeling of trail
users, and elimination of liability concerns. The fencing should allow for good natural surveillance and
not obstruct the ability to visually monitor the activities taking place on the trail.
Access gates should be designed to allow maintenance vehicle and emergency access when appropriate;
click-to-enter or combination locks are acceptable options.
