You're talking bollards.

Or for some drivers "up yours" - eg

I find it very hard to have any sympathy for drivers who can't read.

Maybe they just can't read English. I can read a fair amount of
French, German, Dutch and Swedish, but I wouldn't necessarily
understand a sign that said "rising bollard" in any of them, and I
wouldn't even understand "buses only" in Finnish or Albanian.

It's the "No Entry" or "No motor Vehicles" international signs they can't
read. I've seen the signs they ignore to hit the bollards in Cambridge. They
are unbelievably stupid.
