Well, maybe the ones in the picture are rigid and could be called
bollards, but in the case they are flexible, on in other cases where a
priority lane is divided by small pieces on the ground, bollard would
not be the right name. "lane-divider" is too generic IMHO, as it
doesn't say much about the physical appearance: whether the barrier
can be crossed without damaging the vehicle or not, etc.

This is one the kind of dividers commonly used in Rome for instance:
