Car parks across Canterbury to receive ANPR barrier technology


product-autobarriers Car parks across Canterbury to receive ANPR barrier technologyCanterbury’s local council has revealed some ambitious plans to overhaul car parking in Canterbury City Centre by adding ANPR barrier technology throughout its car parks, a news report has been able to reveal.

Although the local authority has vowed not to cut parking space, charges will be bumped up as innovative technology is rolled out to read drivers’ number plates and trigger automatic barriers at every car park.

Drivers will only be charged for the time they spend in the car park and will have the option of setting up an account online. “Ultimately we would want people to be able to park without needing to approach the machine,” a representative said.

“In the short-term you’ll still be able to pay with cash at the end of your stay.”

Car Park Barriers & Turnstiles has an extensive experience in creating advanced, reliable, yet quite affordable access restriction solutions for car parks.

The vehicle barriers developed by Car Park Barriers & Turnstiles can work in any weather, are able to immediately recognise authorised personnel and are supplied complete and ready to accept power and data connections, meaning that they can be easily interlinked with a new or existing access control system. Plus, boom arms are available in a number of different lengths to suit various road widths.

Last, but certainly not least, it’s important to mention that the automatic car park barriers supplied by Car Park Barriers & Turnstiles can also be fitted with a number of useful extras, such as a folding arm mechanism, impact release mechanism or hanging racks / barrier skirts.
