What is a traffic post used for?
It restricts vehicle access in specific areas, such as driveways, forecourts, or car parks, while allowing flexibility when access is needed.

Once raised, rotate the post 45 degrees and lock it using a standard padlock (not included). This secures the post to its integrated lid bracket.

You can choose between 500mm and 745mm tall posts in either galvanised mild steel or stainless steel, depending on application and corrosion resistance needs.
