Car Park Barriers & Bollards
Car Park Barriers & Bollards UK
Effective car park management requires more than white lines and signage. Physical barriers, bollards, and access control infrastructure are essential for managing vehicle flow, preventing unauthorised access, protecting pedestrians, and maximising revenue from paid car parks. BarriersCo supplies a full range of car park safety and access control products for sites of all sizes across the UK.
Common Car Park Challenges
- Unauthorised parking by non-customers or non-residents
- Vehicles overstaying time limits
- Protecting pedestrian walkways and entrances from vehicle intrusion
- Controlling access outside opening hours
- Preventing HGVs and oversized vehicles from entering restricted-height structures
- Defining bay markings and end-of-bay protection
Recommended Products for Car Parks
Car Park Barriers & Boom Arms
Manual and automated boom barriers provide controlled access at car park entrances and exits. Available with manual operation, padlock security, or integration with electronic access control systems. Suitable for single and double-lane configurations.
Bollards for Access Control & Pedestrian Protection
Steel and cast-iron bollards define pedestrian zones, protect building facades, and prevent vehicles from accessing restricted areas. Removable and retractable options provide access for authorised vehicles while maintaining security at other times.
Height Restriction Barriers
Galvanised steel height restriction frames are available in standard heights from 1.8m to 2.5m, protecting multi-storey car parks and undercroft structures from oversized vehicles. Available as standalone units or in linked configurations spanning the full entrance width.
Regulations & Standards
Car parks in the UK are subject to building regulations (Approved Document B for fire safety and Approved Document M for accessibility), planning conditions, and the Equality Act 2010, which requires adequate provision for disabled users. Physical barriers must not impede Blue Badge holder access to designated bays, and pedestrian routes must meet minimum width requirements.
The British Parking Association (BPA) and the International Parking Community (IPC) both publish operational codes of practice relevant to barrier and access control specification.
