It also provides a physical barrier. Try riding a bike through one, or sleeping on one, or taking a shortcut through one!

Hedges are physical barriers made of plants. people put them for decoration *and* to keep people out of many areas.

a hedge is any bushes that have been pruned into an ornamental barrier. they may be singular or plural. 

people, such as myself, micromap hedges in some areas. I don’t use them for trees or flowerbeds, but you will find plenty of hedges in a rose garden keeping people from taking shortcuts through the flowers. 

removing the rendering for area=yes on the hedge is a very poorly thought out decision. 

it should be reversed.
