Road Safety & Car Park Equipment

To keep roads and car park spaces safe and well-maintained takes a lot of work and specialist equipment. Managing car park safety can be made much easier with the proper signage and traffic-calming solutions, such as speed bumps and speed limit signage. To ensure that the surface of your driveway or car park stays in tip-top condition, the use of pothole repair products is a must to prevent claims for accident damage and trips. Stopping the wrong sort of traffic accessing your car park space is also important and can be done using security posts, boom barriers and height restriction barriers.

Start Traffic UK website is very clear and easy to use. The products which I purchased are of very high quality and simple to install. The delivery was prompt and the packaging superb.

Thank you for the service, the delivery process was very smooth with accurate updates. The only thing is that one of teh yellow wheelchair dropped kerbs that we ordered seemed that it was used already as it had some black marks on it. Worked fine, but if they are already used, maybe a line on the product page would be helpful.

The product we have been sent looks like a users second with marks and scratches. Not at all happy with the item going to being put on the becking to store cushions.

We have purchased multiple thermo plastic items, from Start Safety UK, over the past few years. The quality of the items have been fantastic and easy to apply. Value for money and has made our school more safe. Only negative is the delivery costs. Over £50 a time is expensive, if we only want a small order.

andy milner

A smooth purchase with good comms on what was happening.

carl dawson

Really impressed with this company. Very good communication about order status and excellent product quality. I think extremely reasonably priced as well. One thing I would improve - please could we have some printed installation instructions with the product as we struggled to work out how to install it!! Many thanks.

How To Improve Car Park & Road Safety

Keeping areas of road or car park clear of defects and adequately signposted is essential when creating a safe environment for pedestrians and vehicles (especially if the two mix in the same area).

Here are some of the top ways to improve traffic safety and manage traffic within road areas that you are responsible for.

Install clear signage

Clear and easy to understand signage is a must have for any area that vehicle traffic is operating.

Not only does it help notify drivers of any restrictions such as speed limits or parking times, but it also can be used to warn them of pedestrians in the road or give them directions.

We have an easy to understand range of permanent signage that will ensure drivers can easily understand the "rules of the road".

Provide clear road markings

Clean and clear road markings allow you to direct traffic without confusion. This is the case both on the highway and on private car parks.

By providing clearly marked parking bays you can quickly indicate where is safe and suitable to park improving organisation of the parking area and therefore safety.

Other symbols can be used to indicate speed limits, where parking is prohibited or even where to stop when giving way at a junction.

You will find all you need to create clean and clear markings in our road markings area.

Fix damaged or broken surfaces

Damaged and defective tarmac that is full of potholes can not only pose a risk to vehicles it can also pose a significant risk to pedestrians through twisted ankles and falls.

We stock a range of easy to use pothole repair and prevention products in our road repair section that will help you ensure that tarmac surfaces and concrete surfaces are kept clear of defects.

Control traffic speed

Speed is a factor in most road safety incidents, as traveling too fast in a car reduces the amount of time you have to react to something unexpected.

By installing bolt down speed bumps and supporting speed signage you can easily slow vehicles down, improving safety for everyone in the area.

Protect pedestrian areas & Infrastructure

No matter how much work you to do prevent accidents they will still happen through driver error. For this reason it is important to install adequate barriers and bollards to prevent vehicles from crashing into pedestrian areas, sensitive equipment such as charging points, and expensive assets such as buildings.

This can be achieved by using permanently installed barrier systems such as Armco or heavy duty bollards. Both of which can be installed by casting them into the ground with concrete or simply by bolting them down in place.

Improve security

Enhancing the security of your car park can be done in a number of ways and can take the form of preventing unwanted vehicle access to restricting traffic at certain times of the day.

Our height restrictor barriers can prevent oversized vehicles accessing places they should go, and our boom and arm barriers can be installed to lock a car park out of hours preventing unauthorised gatherings, vehicle thefts and anti-social behaviour.

Our selection of security bollards can be installed to restrict car park spaces reserving them for staff, residents or preventing vehicle access all together.

Enhance visibility

If you have any blind corners that could lead to pedestrians walking out Infront of vehicles, or even vehicles pulling out on one another then a traffic safety mirror is a must. These mirrors are a firm favourite of country lanes, blind corners and bad car park exits.

We have a full range of traffic mirrors to buy from allowing you to ensure vehicles and pedestrians have full situational awareness.

Mitigate slips and trips

To help keep pedestrian on site on their feet, you need to ensure that you have a plan for dealing with ice and snow as well as wet weather.

We have a range of high traction surface dressings that can be applied in pedestrian and vehicle areas that help prevent vehicles and pedestrians from slipping.

When the cold weather hits you need to have an arsenal of ice and snow clearing equipment at the ready. We have all you need in our grit bins and salt spreader categories.
