Good design can save lives – and sometimes, it’s the humblest designs that do the most good. You may rarely notice them, but bollards keep pedestrians safe by restricting vehicle traffic – and they can save lives in the event of an accident or terrorist attack. That said, no one wants to feel like they are living in a fortress, which is why some companies like Reliance Foundry offer bollards that don’t just protect people – they enhance the architecture of the surrounding city. A bollard is a metal post installed along sidewalks, public squares and parking lots to help direct traffic and create a protective barrier between vehicles and pedestrians.
