bollard=unremovable for fixed bollards sounds good to me.
My spelling check does not like "unremovable" but instead suggests
"irremovable." However, if I want to be nit-picky, all bollards are
ultimately removable, so maybe more appropriate values would be
"retractable" and "non-retractable."
Around here, many removable bollards are removed by unlocking a lock
near the ground and lifting them out manually - I'm not sure if I
would describe that as "retractable".
Others are unlocked and then can be put flat against the ground,
that's covered by "hinged" I guess but only 3 uses worldwide...
perhaps covered by "foldable" with 62 uses.
"Fixed" does sound to me more straightforward than "unremovable" though.
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/*
