When it comes to your business premises, protecting your assets is very important. One way to do this is to control the type and amount of traffic that can enter your premises and/or car park area. An effective measure that can help with this is traffic barriers.
However, there are numerous types available, each of which serves a different purpose ranging from protecting pedestrians to keeping construction sites clear and safe. Here, we explain the different types of traffic barriers you could consider for your business premises.
How To Choose The Right Traffic Barrier
Traffic barriers provide an effective tool for you to control vehicle access to your premises. The type of barrier you choose to install will depend on three factors:
- The type of traffic entering your premises: The barrier you choose may vary depending on whether you want to allow heavy vehicles or only lightweight vehicles to enter your property.
- Nature of your premises: You’ll choose a different barrier depending on the situation, such as with public or private areas, commercial or residential areas and construction sites.
- Why you’re installing the barrier: Some traffic barriers are designed to control traffic flow, whereas others are used to prevent certain vehicles from accessing your premises.
