SPRING POST

A spring post, also known as a rebound or flexible bollard, is a type of traffic control device designed to provide a flexible and resilient barrier. It consists of a vertical post made of sturdy materials such as steel or PVC, anchored to the ground by a base. The top portion of the post is connected to the base using a spring mechanism, allowing it to bend and flex upon impact.

Spring posts are primarily used to enhance road safety by delineating lanes, separating pedestrian walkways, and protecting certain areas from vehicular intrusion. In high-traffic areas, they serve as a visible and effective way to prevent vehicles from encroaching into restricted zones, such as bike lanes or pedestrian crossings. When a vehicle collides with a spring post, the post bends or gives way, absorbing some of the impact and reducing the risk of damage to the vehicle and occupants.

Their ability to spring back into an upright position after impact makes spring posts a durable and cost-effective solution for traffic management and safety. They are commonly found in urban environments, parking lots, industrial sites, and other areas where traffic control and safety are crucial considerations.
