The Department of Transportation considers protecting pedestrian islands from turning vehicles and preventing unauthorized parking in pedestrian areas when installing non-security bollards.
- Bollards are installed to safeguard pedestrian islands from vehicles turning into them.
- Bollards are used in areas where there is a likelihood of vehicles illegally parking in spaces designated for pedestrians.
- These are the primary factors considered for non-security related bollard installations.
