Streetscape Guidance<br />

Types of bollard<br />

Bollards are available in a wide range of<br />

materials; cast iron, steel and aluminium are<br />

most commonly used on the TLRN. The type<br />

of bollard selected for a scheme should be<br />

appropriate for its location and fulfil acceptable<br />

physical and visual requirements.<br />

Bollard designs should be selected based on the<br />

function they need to fulfil:<br />

• The design should be appropriate for the<br />

character of the area<br />

• Telescopic posts may be appropriate for areas<br />

which are largely pedestrianised to restrict<br />

general vehicle access but allow for servicing<br />

vehicles<br />

• A number of traditional historic bollards exist<br />

on the TLRN, some of which are listed, and<br />

should be retained<br />

• The method of ground fixing should<br />

be detailed to minimise damage to the<br />

surrounding footway, should a vehicle collision<br />

occur, allowing for easy replacement of the<br />

bollard<br />

• Bollards should not be linked with chain or rope<br />

Options General on footway Removable posts Security bollards<br />
