lamp posts
Tall sidewalk lights
Lamp posts are tall poles that support street lights, typically lining roads, sidewalks, and public spaces.
The term is often written as one word (lampposts) or hyphenated (lamp-posts).
Beyond their practical function, lamp posts appear in iconic imagery—dogs urinating on them, lovers meeting beneath them, drunks leaning against them for support.
