Dual Adjustment K Barrier is designed to prevent unauthorised motorbike and scooter access to footpaths while providing inclusive access for pedestrians, wheelchair users, cyclists and pushchairs. This installation in Glenfield, Leicester shows how effective motorcycle access control can protect public spaces without restricting everyday use.

The problem

A pedestrian trail in Glenfield, Leicester was experiencing issues with frequent illegal motorbike traffic.

The solution

To prevent motorcycles from accessing the trail, Bison provided Dual Adjustment K Barriers, designed to prevent motorbikes and other large motorised vehicles from entering the trail system.

The result

When Bison revisited the site, a clear difference was noted. People were able to enter the trail, including dog walkers, and a mum with a pushchair. Each passed through the barrier comfortably and without hesitation. The gap allowed natural pedestrian flow, yet it was immediately obvious that a motorcycle handlebar would be too wide to pass.

In brief conversations with some of the regular footpath users, it was understood that since installation of the barriers, the area has remained free from the motorbike problems.

This project demonstrates that preventing motorbike access to footpaths does not require compromising accessibility. With adjustable squeeze plates and controlled spacing, the Dual Adjustment K Barrier allows the right users through while keeping illegal motorbikes out.
