bollards

Sturdy street posts

Bollards are short, sturdy posts set in the ground to control traffic or protect areas from vehicles.

They line sidewalks, guard storefronts, and block cars from pedestrian zones: The city installed bollards after the attack.

On ships and docks, a bollard is a thick post for securing mooring lines.
