Simple, traffic management solution

The Bell Bollard has become a proven means of traffic calming, having been successfully used on many hundreds of schemes across the UK. The effectiveness of the Bell is now widely recognised as a tried-andtested solution available to highways engineers and contractors.

Why choose a Bell bollard?

• Cost-effective - lasts over 25 years

• Sustainable - 100% recyclable

• Easy to maintain - durable & highquality product

• Quick lead times - on all stock items

To ensure the effectiveness of the Bell when used in traffic calming scenarios we recommend that the site is first assessed and set out by a qualified highways engineer. A pre-construction safety audit may also be advisable in order to assess any issues such as visibility of the proposed Bell products, from both a driver and pedestrian point of view.

Whatever constraints the site presents, one of the four Bell product options will fulfil the requirement. Need help choosing? We offer no obligation professional advice to assist with your product selection. The principal of the Bell bollard is that the combined low profile and unique shape, and large foundation block renders it almost impossible for any vehicle to de-stablise or overturn a Bell installation.

When installed correctly into a suitable deep concrete foundation, the Bell shape is designed to deflect vehicular wheels that come into contact with it, the wheel will at first rise up the bollard before deflecting away back towards the carriageway as the slope angle increases - minimising damage and risk to both vehicle, pavement and pedestrians.
