Types of Delineators

Delineator Posts for Car Parks and Roads

A delineator post is a vertical marker fixed to the ground to separate lanes, channel vehicles along a set route and highlight hazards. Flexible models bend when struck by a vehicle and spring back into shape, reducing damage to both the vehicle and the post. Reflective bands make them easy to spot from a distance when caught in headlights at night.

Heights, Colours and Models

• Heights: 30, 40, 45, 50, 70, 75, 80 and 100 cm; the most popular choice is the 75 cm post with an 8 cm body diameter.
• Colours: black, blue, white and yellow posts.
• Material: flexible TPU posts, plus rigid plastic delineators for locations where less flex is wanted.
• Removable and sign-mounted models: demountable posts that detach from their base, and 50, 75 and 80 cm posts carrying a warning sign.
• Flexible keep-left/keep-right bollards: 75, 90 and 100 cm sign-mounted posts for marking the nose of traffic islands.

Posts are sold individually or in packs of 2, 5 and 10.

Where to Use Them and How to Install

They are used to divide entry and exit lanes in indoor and outdoor car parks, protect ramps and columns, and organise vehicle flow on private estate roads and at fuel stations. Shorter posts (30–50 cm) suit low-speed areas and pedestrian zones, while 75 and 100 cm posts are better at car park entrances and roadsides where they must be seen from further away. To install, position the base, mark the holes, drill and fix with the anchors and screws. A level, clean asphalt or concrete surface ensures a secure fixing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a delineator and a traffic cone? A cone is portable and meant for temporary use, while a delineator is fixed to the ground for permanent lane layouts.

Which delineator height should I choose? For car parks and low-speed areas, 45–75 cm is usually enough. Choose 100 cm posts for entrances and roadsides that need to be visible from further away.
