Amsterdammertje

An Amsterdammertje (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌɑmstərˈdɑmərtɕə] ⓘ) is the typical red-brown steel traffic bollard that is used to separate the pavement from the street in Amsterdam. Amsterdammertje is Dutch for 'little one from Amsterdam'. The bollards bear the three Saint Andrew's Crosses from the coat of arms of Amsterdam.

Since the 1980s, the city council has been removing and selling Amsterdammertjes.
