Raised Pavement Markers

These little goodies have purpose during day or night.  They act as reflectors at night and can keep traffic moving in a focused direction where you might not want striping, specifically as a guided path to follow.  Being raised they can also act as traffic control during the day.

Bollards Toronto

Safety bollards are the most secure way to protect your promenade, storefront, sidewalk café customers and visitors from accidents.  Not only do they act as a physical barrier from potential collision, they also act as visual cues for parking layouts.  Safety is the objective and bollards can go a long way to making your area the safest possible.   

​Traffic guidance:
Traffic bollards establish important visual cues for drivers—helping create an environment for safe and responsible driving.  Flexible delineators are a popular solution for channelizing traffic. If your goal is to separate or guide traffic in any way then delineator posts are a great choice. They provide protection and visibility while being flexible enough to protect motorists and reduce damage to vehicles.  Common uses are: 

• Snow storage areas
• Keeping cars from parking in front of garbage bins
• Channeling cars to their lanes in a tight turning radius of a parking garage ramp
• Increasing the visual aspect of a crosswalk to increase safety.
• Separating the lanes of drop off zones
• Bike lane separation

​Bollards stand at an optimal height for driver visibility while maintaining clear sight-lines and pedestrian flow where needed. Bollards can provide visual indicators around exposed building areas, utility boxes, parking booths or pedestrian walkways.  For parking areas and restricted access roads, bollards can be installed with versatile mountings to allow temporary or seasonal access.

​Speed Bumps

Speed bumps or traffic calmers have been around for a long time. They have the advantage of being largely self enforcing and of creating a visual impression, real or imagined, that a street or lane-way or parking lot way is not intended for speeding.  The use of these in parking lots is much less controversial than on side streets because of the amount of moving people.  

​​Ontario Parking Lot Services will install rubber speed bumps in the spring and remove them in the fall before the snowplows hit the streets. We store them at our facilities and start the cycle over again come the following spring. This is a low-cost, hassle-free maintenance program our clients have really come to appreciate.

We can also install permanent rubber bumps and humps in parking garages that will not harm the integrity of the floor waterproofing and coatings.​

​Building and landscape aesthetics
Decorative bollards improve the visual quality of buildings and landscapes. Choose from a range of styles, including premium ornamental cast designs—made from ductile iron or aluminum—to suit any historical or contemporary aesthetic. Decorative bollards reinforce separation and cohesion in landscape designs while increasing safety and pedestrian navigation. 

We can supply and install hundreds of different styles to chose from, please see the links to our supplier's find the type you are interested in, then call or email for a free estimate.
