Streetscape Guidance<br />

Layout considerations<br />

For instances where it has not been possible to<br />

provide alternatives to bollards:<br />

• Bollards should be arranged to minimise<br />

physical clutter while maintaining an<br />

appropriate defensive line; this may not<br />

necessarily be a straight line but could involve<br />

setting back bollards to align with other street<br />

furniture such as tree planting<br />

• Filtered permeability, whereby motor vehicles<br />

are blocked but cycle access remains, can be<br />

achieved through the appropriate placement<br />

of bollards or street furniture across the<br />

carriageway<br />

• Bollards are not required at side road entry<br />

treatments as they create additional clutter<br />

and do not provide protection for pedestrians<br />

Bollard placement standards<br />

Minimum distance from kerb face<br />

Recommended distance between bollards to<br />

prevent vehicle access<br />

Recommended distance between bollards for<br />

stopping vehicles from mounting the footway<br />

Bollard design standards<br />

Minimum bollard height<br />

Visibility bands<br />

[Part E – Physical design and materials] Safety and functionality 252<br />

*Please note that these standards do not apply to security bollards<br />

which have their own defined manufacturer’s specification<br />

450mm<br />

1,000mm (except for ‘keep left’ bollards)<br />

At 3,000mm centres across width of footway<br />

1000mm (except for keep left bollards)<br />

150mm band of contrasting colour<br />

Safety<br />

• Formal risk assessments may be required for<br />

the provision or retention of bollards<br />

• Design teams should question any pre-existing<br />

arrangement of bollards and consider removal<br />

subject to safety advice
