Bollards
Bollards are posts that are used to block traffic. Generally, they are short, three-foot tall, posts made of metal or cement, but they can take on any aesthetic, from fluorescent orange columns to large cement planters. But, their purpose is constant, they are used to block vehicular traffic. Some bollards are retractable, allowing certain vehicles to pass and re-emerging to block others from passing. Some benefits of bollards are that they direct traffic, demarcate bike lanes, separate taxi lines from traffic, protect pedestrian space from vehicles, and highlight traffic calming initiatives.
