If you run a site that relies on maintaining a constantly moving traffic flow, but you also need to have control of which vehicles enter the site and where they can drive, you should consider installing security ramps. When it comes to security ramps, Birmingham businesses can rely on the alligator ramps sold by Entry Parking Posts. These are the specialists in security ramps Birmingham companies can use to control traffic flow around their sites.
Security ramps are a simple but effect solution for traffic flow. They consist of a line of steel plates, with steel alligator teeth which press down easily under the weight of vehicles following the correct traffic flow. If vehicles attempt to drive against the indicated traffic flow, the spikes will stay fixed in place, puncturing the tires and preventing unauthorised access or breaking the traffic flow around the site. If you are looking into improving the traffic flow, then you could find these security ramps are what your Birmingham site needs. Here are five reasons they are an ideal choice:
1) They discourage drivers from avoiding queues or entrances
Most obviously, with security ramps Birmingham companies can have control of their sites. Drivers cannot simply cut queues or enter the car park when it is closed as the ramp prevents them from doing so. This gives you full control of the traffic flow and reduces the chance of accidents or problems.
2) They protect pedestrians and workers
By knowing that the traffic flow is controlled by security ramps, Birmingham sites can be safer. Pedestrians and workers will not have the risk of traffic approaching them from a side which they are not expecting or crossing curbs to go the wrong way through a gate system. This reduces the likelihood of a serious accident or injury on the site.
3) They minimise the cost
Many traffic control measures can be more expensive than the cost of the problem they are designed to fix. For example, by installing barriers on the exit of the car park, you may face the cost of paying staff to man the barriers or provide technical support if a car is locked on the site after closing. With security ramps, Birmingham companies can control their site without increasing the need for complex systems or manpower.
4) They do not slow down the traffic flow
Some measures, like automated barriers, can delay the flow of traffic. With security ramps, there is no mechanism to open or shut, or card reader to be swiped. Alligator ramps allow a constant traffic rate of 8 miles per hour, and Entry Parking Posts have alternatives such as alligator barriers which will allow traffic flows of up to 25-30 miles per hour if required.
