Accessorize Your LEGO® Modular Street!

Paint the town red with simple, realistic street elements that add charm and practicality to your modular town. This activity is all about pedestrian safety – helping to keep minifigures and vehicles separate while adding stylish details to your streets.

We’ll show you easy ways to build bollards, railings and pedestrian beacons – essential features found in real town centers. These simple additions will bring a new level of realism to your build and make your LEGO® town safer and more livable for its residents. Lucky them!

Flourishing Flowers

Grow your own raised flower bed in four easy steps, so your minifigures can stop for a moment and smell the flowers!

1. Create a base for your flower bed to sit on.
2. Add a realistic sidewalk-style border to frame the space.
3. Build your flower bed – arrange bright blooms on a LEGO brick base to create the raised effect.
4. Add to your street to bring fresh realness to life!

Top tip! Adjust the height of your flower beds to create variety and add more depth to your streets.

Brick bollards

Pick a bollard, any bollard! Bollards help guide pedestrians, mark boundaries and improve safety. All the designs below connect to the pavement with a 2x2 jumper plate.

1. Build thin short traffic bollards using studs and candle elements. Why not add a gold detail stud for an extra bit of classiness?
2. Fancy building something sturdier? Use Technic™ tubes and connectors!
3. Warning! Hazards in the building – literally. To create bollards for construction and cordoned off areas, create tall bollards using candles – red and white.

Railings and Crossing Beacons

The beauty of railings is they can be as long or as short as you like. You can design them to be built in a straight line or with 90-degree angles in – the choice is yours!
