A proven solution for preventing unauthorised motorcycle access
If you need to know how to stop motorbikes using footpaths, parks, alleyways or public access routes, the Built by Bison Dual Adjustment K Barrier provides a durable and adjustable solution designed specifically for UK public realm environments.
This heavy-duty motorcycle barrier helps prevent illegal access by:
motorcycles
mopeds
scramblers
off-road bikes
scooters
while still allowing access for:
pedestrians
wheelchair users
pushchairs
mobility scooters
cyclists where appropriate
The system is widely suited to:
local authorities
housing associations
schools
parks departments
contractors
landowners
public realm projects

What Is a Motorcycle Access Barrier?
A motorbike access barrier is a physical restriction system designed to stop motorcycles entering areas intended for pedestrians or controlled traffic.
These barriers are commonly installed on:
footpaths
cycle paths
parks
housing estates
bridleways
green spaces
public rights of way
The Dual Adjustment K Barrier uses an adjustable opening configuration that restricts motorcycle handlebars while maintaining safer pedestrian access.

How Do You Stop Motorbikes Using Footpaths?
The most effective way to stop motorcycles using footpaths is to install a purpose-built anti motorbike barrier that limits access width without fully blocking pedestrian movement.
Unlike fixed-width barriers, the Built by Bison Dual Adjustment K Barrier can be adjusted after installation. This allows contractors and councils to fine-tune the opening width to match:
site conditions
accessibility requirements
pathway widths
user behaviour
maintenance access needs
That flexibility matters because poorly designed barriers often create new problems while solving the old ones. A barrier should stop motorbikes, not accidentally declare war on wheelchairs and pushchairs.

Why Choose the Built by Bison Dual Adjustment K Barrier?
Adjustable After Installation
The Dual Adjustment K Barrier features a unique squeeze-plate adjustment system, allowing post-installation width changes without replacing the barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best barrier to stop motorbikes?
The best solution is typically a purpose-built motorbike access barrier that restricts handlebar width while maintaining pedestrian accessibility. Adjustable systems provide greater flexibility across different sites.

Yes. Properly specified barriers are designed to maintain access for pedestrians, wheelchairs and pushchairs while restricting motorcycles.
Where are anti motorbike barriers used?
They are commonly used in parks, housing estates, public footpaths, schools, greenways and shared-use access routes.
Do motorcycle prevention barriers stop scooters and mopeds?
Yes. The restricted access width is designed to deter motorcycles, scooters and mopeds from entering pedestrian areas.
