Blocks are increasing used on footpaths and on entrances to squares 
plazas etc. They are increasing as being used as 'anti terrorist' measures.
Some have some decorative features. Some have had decorative covers made 
for them ..as they are ugly!

But they are still barriers.

Don't see the necessity to map them as areas. To zoom in that small 
would loose the surroundings.
But if you want to.
