The cost was £423.95 per bollard, the total project expenditure was £1,695.80 The student will look at whether these bollards have been effective in highlighting the school crossing area and changing driving behaviour compared to other school traffic calming measures. This is the first time mannequin bollards have been used in Midlothian. The student will work alongside school staff, pupils, parents, police and council officers and members of the community council to collate feedback and determine the safety value of the mannequin bollards.
