Traffic Controllers Birmingham
If you manage a car park in the Birmingham area, whether a public car park or a private staff parking area, the flow of traffic can be a real concern. This equally applies to companies that control sites that require a traffic flow, such as airports, recycling centres, warehouses, hospitals, or taxi ranks. The problem can be that whilst being able to control the site is essential for making sure that you have a safe workplace that is accident free and also has a continual workflow, you cannot rely on people following the directions simply because of putting up signs or painting clear directions on the road. People will instead often choose to take their own route. They might cut across lanes, drive in through ‘no entry’ points or go over islands designed to direct the traffic. Not only does this lead to frustration and tensions, but it could also have physical consequences if it results in an accident from a vehicle moving in a direction that is not expected.
The problem is that many solutions can be either ineffective or expensive. For example, putting up more signs is not likely to have an impact. On the other hand, using your staff as traffic controllers or installing costly computerised camera systems at your Birmingham site could be expensive.
This is where Entry Parking Posts come in. They are the specialists in traffic controllers Birmingham businesses need. When it comes to traffic controllers, Birmingham businesses need an option that is cost effective, but which will also result in well controlled traffic flow around the site. There are a number of options for traffic controllers Birmingham companies can install.
Two popular options are to install alligator teeth or alligator jaws into your Birmingham car park as traffic controllers. These work in a similar way, by preventing traffic from driving in a direction that is contrary to your carefully designed traffic flow. They are steel blocks which stand up at an angle from the road. If the traffic is moving in the intended direction, the blocks will smoothly flatten down, allowing the vehicle to pass unimpeded. But if they attempt to drive in the opposite direction, perhaps to avoid a queue, to not pay a fee or to enter when the carpark is closed, the blocks will stay upright, puncturing the tyres and preventing the vehicle from passing. Depending on the model and the height, these can be fitted to be suited to controlling cars or larger vehicles like lorries.
Another common option is a height restriction barrier. This can be used to prevent larger vehicles, like vans or lorries, from entering parts of your site intended only for cars.
