I too prefer 'fixed'.

Foldable, is also in some sense irremovable/unremovable (spell check objects) where as I think 'fixed' is a better description as it implies not foldable, removeable nor lowerable.

So I would have 4 things to describe bollard status of permanency;

fixed

foldable

removable

lowerable

I note there are at lest 3 keys used;

bollard:type ... looks like it is used to describe the structure ... and also the permanency

bollard_type similar to bollard:type

bollard_crossing ... I have no idea.

None of these have a wiki!

Suggest that a descriptive key name be used!!! The word 'type' has no information.

bollard_permanency=*???

And make a wiki entry for it please.



If you want, then another key so the above does not get polluted?

bollard_structure=block/post/*
