Other Parking Bollards are designed to segregate vehicles from pedestrians and guard sidewalks or building entrances and fire exits. Parking bollards are also installed to protect high-cost parking infrastructure such as ticket machines, security offices, toll booths, ATM’s, fire hydrants, electrical transformers, air conditioners, switch boards, sign structures or other property from damage by moving vehicles.

Fire exit doors must be protected from obstruction according to the BCA (Building Code of Australia). The simplest and most effective fixture to prevent obstruction by vehicles is a Safety Parking Bollard which allows for unrestricted people flow out of the fire exit and also prevents vehicles from blocking the exit.
