My suggestion is to use 
man_made=planter 
for these, wherever they appear.

If they are used as barriers on a road, add also barrier=planter or 
barrier=yes and necessary access-tags to a node on the way. (this is a variant 
on the barrier=block.

If they are used for traffic calming to form a choker or chicane, be sure to 
tag that part of the road with traffic_calming=choker or chicane.
