Report a problem with a bollard

Bollards are used to control the flow of traffic. They block, guide, protect, and enhance public spaces.

Types of bollard

There are two types of bollards used in Kirklees:

Decorative bollards are used to restrict or prevent vehicle access to certain areas to protect people and property, or to mark the edge of the highway.
Traffic bollards are used to control the flow of traffic on the roads. They help keep motorists, pedestrians and cyclists safe by directing traffic, highlighting hazards or separating vehicles from pedestrians and cyclists.

Decorative bollards may vary from the images and descriptions provided.

A black bollard fitted with a white reflective panel to improve visibility and guide pedestrians and vehicles in low-light conditions.

A strong metal bollard offering long-lasting protection and clearly marking restricted or pedestrian-only areas.

A post used on open moorland and rural paths to help users follow designated routes and navigate safely across exposed terrain.
