  • Yeah that’s why I’d want them removable or retractable. The goal is to keep dip shits like me, or malicious actors, from bringing their car in.

    If someone calls you then they need to let your van in so that you can do your job without that added hassle.

    I think my ideal system would be like those gated communities. Anyone that manages a business, or lives in the area, can buzz a car in for deliveries and maintenance. Obviously that weakens security but it’d at least prevent opportunistic attacks and drunks.


  • Basically there are bollards that fold down or retract electronically.

    The university I worked at had the folding kind. We just had a key that allowed us to remove the locks and fold them down for deliveries. The area was completely inaccessible to anything bigger than a motorcycle when the bollards were up.

    An attacker could just cut through the locks, but that requires them to exit the vehicle and tamper with them while cops are standing right there.

    Were I to design a more sophisticated system, I’d install the retracting kind and have something like what those gated communities have where any authorized business can open the bollards by answering a phone call and pressing a certain number.

    This could be compromised, of course, but it raises the skill floor necessary to carry out an attack.
