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.

Well, when it comes again to the non security ones, it's really just to make sure that those pedestrian islands are protect are are protected from turning vehicles.

And then again, only in instances where we think that there might be a likelihood that someone is trying to park in an area that's intended preferred pedestrians.
