Bollard Signs

More signage news from in and around the UK from Hants and Dorset Signs as after dozens of vehicle collisions with Newbury town centre’s infamous rising bollards, West Berkshire Council has now decided that additional warning signs for drivers need to be erected. About 65 incidents involving vehicle collisions with the town centre’s three sets of automatic rising bollards have occurred since the first set were installed in Northbrook Street in 1999, including two more recent strikes.

Some have resulted in injury and many have left both the cars and the bollards severely damaged, with several eyewitnesses and drivers calling for more adequate warning signs.
However, within the past decade as bollards were installed in Wharf Street and Bartholomew Street, the district council has maintained that signage has always been adequate and complied with the law, and that any drivers who struck the bollards after following taxis or buses through were simply flouting the law.

But now, West Berkshire Council spokeswoman Peta Stoddart-Crompton has said that more signage is being planned for the Bartholomew Street bollards. She said: “It is planned to install two eye level signs, one at the barrier and the other adjacent to the back of a bus when it has stopped at the barrier.”
