Over the past few years, ensuring pedestrian safety from vehicle collisions has become increasingly critical, especially in urban environments where such incidents are alarmingly frequent. According to statistics, more than 400 injuries occur annually due to vehicle-building collisions in the United States alone, leading to over 500 fatalities each year. This alarming trend poses a serious concern for businesses and government facilities, as these accidents threaten the safety of employees, visitors, and infrastructure.
While traditional perimeter security measures such as fences, gates, or concrete walls may seem like practical solutions, they often fail to accommodate necessary pedestrian or vehicle access for deliveries, maintenance, or emergencies. Therefore, many organizations are turning to bollards as part of their security strategy, offering robust protection without compromising accessibility.
If you're looking to enhance your perimeter security with bollards that prioritize pedestrian access, TYMETAL's crash-rated bollards are an excellent choice. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide outlining various bollard options available on the market and their diverse applications.

**What Exactly Is a Bollard?**
A bollard is essentially a short post embedded in streets or sidewalks. Historically crafted from wood or stone, bollards have been utilized since ancient Rome to demarcate boundaries and separate pedestrians from horse-drawn vehicles. Today, they serve a dual purpose: guiding traffic and safeguarding pedestrians, structures, and property from vehicle collisions.
