A bollard is a sturdy vertical post designed to shield buildings, storefronts, equipment, pedestrians, and parking areas from vehicle impacts. These protective structures are frequently installed in front of commercial properties, warehouses, gas stations, retail establishments, and loading docks to prevent both accidental and deliberate vehicle collisions.
