Sinking Bollards

In order to ensure the security of the protected and closed areas of the district, Streets Department (Department of Streets) of Belváros-Lipótváros has been operating sinking bollards since the spring of 2010. (17 in the downtown area)
The task of these roadblocks is to prevent street space of unauthorized use and to mitigate and keep low the traffic in the affected areas.
According to the feedback of the district’s inhabitants, the sinking bollards are extremely successful; the traffic of the streets concerned has decreased radically.
