Bollards: automatic bollards or works of art

Many facts have been cited to confirm the positive trends in the development of our country. In Ukraine, automotive industry, a clear achievement is the presence on the market of the world-famous FAAC access control systems. This is convenient when a good quality product is available not only in the form of pictures and videos on a foreign site. And even better, when a company in your city is ready to professionally service anti-terrorist bollards.

Asphalt sinking bollards have gained a reputation for reliable, controlled access control. They are equally effectively used in residential "sleeping" areas, and on city streets, and in government quarters as a perimeter protection.

Evaluate the popularity of anti-shock anti-terrorist bollards for yourself by reading the facts collected and presented. So, in New York, after the terrorist attack in Manhattan involving a truck in 2017, the city authorities decided to allocate 50 (!) Million dollars for the installation of bollards.

The popularity of such anti-vandal structures is so great that it attracts the attention of people, ordinary residents. For example, in the crowded pedestrian areas of Melbourne, anti-terrorist bollards were decorated with fabric draperies, paints and confetti, for which they were given the status #bollart on social networks (which means “bollard + art” in translation).

And in England, according to The Guardian, bollards in the form of children's figures were centrally installed near schools (the uniform corresponds to that worn in a particular educational institution), which ignited heated discussions from “yes, this will force drivers to carefully comply SDA” to “such a figure can scare and cause an accident”.

Whatever the public's attitude toward this way of managing traffic, FAAC's automatic bollard models:
- provide reliable security;
- effectively help to manage access (the time of ascent and immersion is calculated in seconds, not even in minutes);
- perimeter protection of strategically important objects (airports, embassies, consulates, banks, government buildings).

Sleeping in an elite high-rise apartment is calmer if it is not an old security guard grandfather who is on guard, but such steel cylinders with a concreted supporting structure; walking through the old quarters of Kyiv, Odessa, Dnipro, Lviv is more comfortable if the pedestrian zones are permanently fenced with automatic posts; go through bureaucratic procedures in consulates and embassies more calmly when there are such bollard-guarantors of human rights and freedoms in our turbulent time of unrest on a planetary scale.
