You can't get any more American than that. Other countries usually use bollards to protect pedestrians, bicyclists, and people in general. Americans use bollards to protect property and to protect against terrorism. I'm American and I wonder how many Americans even know the word bollard. My guess is much less than 1%. My guess if an American is shown a photo of a regular old bollard used in a foreign country to protect people - he says "That's like a smaller version of the anti-terrorism things we have to protect buildings."
I think i only know the word bollard because i wondered what the big red orbs in front of Target were, lol
