Islington Town Planners needed to develop a bus gate system within the area. They needed to control vehicle access within a local residential area, coupled with allowing an effective traffic flow system on to a busy dual carriageway.
The Town Planners took up the bus gate problem with their local developers, and they devised a site lay out of the area. ATG Access ™ were then contacted via the Secure X Exhibition in London, in order for them to comment upon the proposed system. ATG were selected due to their impressive history within the bollard manufacturing industry. The extensive product range that ATG offer enabled the developers to work alongside them in implementing the right access control system for the Islington bus gate system.
ATG Access ™ reviewed the lay out and the proposed plans for the bus gate system, and consulted Islington Town Planners. They advised a single direction system that utilised three bollards, to allow ease of access for busses to turn right from a side road onto a busy dual carriageway. Islington Town Planners proposed the implementation of a dual bollard system, but after consultation with ATG they decided that the implementation of the triple bollard system would be a more effective traffic control system than a dual.
ATG Access ™’ proposed access control bollard scheme has been agreed and work is due to begin midway through January (2004). ATG will be working closely alongside the main contractor involved with the major carriageway alterations in order to ensure a balance traffic flow system.
