Originally bollards were used on ships, primarily for mooring, i.e. tying lines to dock.
Today they have two general purposes. Bollards are short vertical posts found almost everywhere to protect assets. Sometimes called simply a "guard post", a bollard may protect buildings, utilities, equipment, or pedestrians. Common examples would be to protect a drive-thru lane at a bank, a fire hydrant in a parking lot, or pallet rack in a warehouse. See some applications here: https://www.slowstop.com/resources/applications. In general, this is vehicle access denial. Some applications call for high strength security bollards, such as in front of embassies and other government buildings.
Second, in Europe the word bollard is used to describe a short vertical sign, often found on a median, directing traffic around the island.
