Explanation:
I'm not at all sure if I have the right image in my mind, but this is what the phrase is making me think of; I imagine "lamelari" means they're kind of "flat" or "blade-like" rather than tube-like. Here are some pictures of what I mean:

"The motorway marker posts alongside the hard shoulder os a motorway, are spaced every 100m. You can use these posts to judge the distance between you and the vehicle in front."
http://www.advancedmotorists.co.uk/test_tips.asp

"Our Flexible Hazard Marker Post is vandal resistant and will spring back into position even after being run over by a vehicle."

Here's a rather involved forum discussion about them with three more photos, including one showing them in the middle of a road (they're towards the bottom of the page - you have to scroll down quite a bit):

"I think you are referring to hazard marker posts, two examples given below..."

Explanation:
Pentru “stâlp” aş folosi cu siguranţă “bollard”. Cu “lamelari” nu ştiu ce să mă fac. E un punct de pornire, totuşi :)

Asker: Multumesc. "Bollard" ma face sa ma gandesc la ceva mai solid. Astia sunt destul de flexibili.
