Been saying it for years, and starting to feel like I'm going insane. How in the fuck have so many municipalities around the world, especially those concerned with vehicle-based terrorist attacks on pedestrians, not settled on bollards? If it works for embassies, military bases, and other sensitive sites, why not exclusively vehicle-free areas?
I'm hitting a language barrier here (this was not meant to be a ballad joke but take it as you want).
I had never heard that word. I looked up images and it seem like there are two kinds: the kind that is fixed on the sidewalk, and the kind that pops up in the middle of the road. To which you are referring to?
You should probably assume somebody is talking about fixed bollards unless they explicitly mention retractable.
Thanks
