[Tagging] Unremovable bollards

Hi,

I was starting to write a whole page why I don't like "fixed" instead of
"unremovable" but the more I think about this, the more I like the value
"fixed".

One thing I worried about were flexible/soft bollards [0]. I would not
describe them as "fixed" regarding their ability to
move/bend/rotate/..., but they still remain on their location on the
ground, even though they are flexible. Therefore this would make sense
to call them "fixed".

I currently don't know that a "lowerable" bollard looks like and how it
works. Do you have an example?



I would love to hear some feedback on these two values:

"fixed":
A bollard which cannot be removed without destroying it or at least
cause severe damage to it. If a bollard has some sort of lock to remove
it, it's *not* fixed.

"foldable":
A bollard which can be rotated so it lays on the ground so that e.g.
vehicles can pass it [1]. Some kind of key or wrench might be needed.
This bollard can easily be moved back to it's previous position with no
damage left.
