About Reflective Bollards

Reflective bollards are a cost-effective way of improving safety without requiring power to the area. They use the reflection of nearby light sources to enhance their visibility. The reflective material can provide varying information, such as advanced warnings of turns in the road, directional symbols, or no-entry signage.

These posts offer improved visibility over non-reflective bollards. You can install reflective bollards in any number of locations, but the added visibility makes them especially suited to use around motor vehicles and roads.

Roadside reflective bollards can also be fitted with different-coloured reflectors to indicate different meanings, but you will most often see them with red and white reflectors - with the red side showing on the left-hand side of the road.

The installation method for reflective bollards varies depending on the location, type and application. Common methods include surface mounting, dig-in, cast-in, and socket fitting. All the bollards in our extensive range are supplied with detailed instructions to ensure that fitting and installation is as simple as possible.

Types of reflective bollard

Almost all types of bollard can have reflective material fitted to them, making them fall into the reflective bollard category. The most common types are as follows:

  • Reflective verge markers - These are installed on verges all over the UK. They warn of changes in the direction of the road, or soft verges.
  • Reflective Traffic Bollards - These are seen on traffic islands and in town centres, where they are used to direct traffic around obstacles.
  • Street Bollards - These are a common sight in town centres and pedestrianised areas all around the country. The reflective banding ensures that drivers do not get too close to pedestrians or buildings.

What is a retro-reflective bollard?

Retroreflective material bounces light back at the source; this makes it better suited to road use as car headlamp beams are bounced back at the driver. This improved reflectivity allows the bollards to be seen from further away, giving the most advanced warning possible.

Not all our bollards have the same grade of reflective material. The class of the material on each bollard is detailed in the specifications tab within the individual product page.
