A misjudged reverse, a wheel riding up the kerb or a van longer than expected is enough to hit the housing, the pedestal or the socket. Guard stands in the way: the bumper or wheel meets the hoop, anchored in the slab, before it reaches the equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts lime reflective bands and anthracite finish keep it visible in daylight and in a dim car park.
