Retractable driveway fences and gates are barriers designed to create visual boundaries around driveway entrances or near playgrounds.
On the other hand, safety signs can be used to alert drivers intending to pull into a driveway, that they need to be on the lookout for kids.
These barriers are used near or within the driveway entrance in order to restrict kids from accessing the streets and also keep vehicles from accessing the driveway especially when kids are playing.
Such safety barriers will keep your child out of the streets and out of danger since they make it difficult for the kids to run to the streets when chasing their balls or other playing accessories. These barriers will also stop kids from riding their bikes or skateboards on the street.
