If you have a dirty mind, it is a phallis.
If you have a clean mind, it looks like a concrete trash can.
If you have a Conservative mind, you have to wonder how much they could have saved if they had used painted, concrete-filled 4” steel pipes.

In all fairness, I would have to suggest that vertical 4" steel pipes would be a whole lot more dangerous for drunken pedestrians (a common fauna), erratic children and automobiles. The much larger diameter and rounded shape of these concrete posts will tend to disperse impact energy over a wider area on the impacting object (or person), resulting in a less-localized injury or damage event. These a probably a whole lot more substantial than a 4" steel pipe as well, which is an important consideration in this modern era of truck bombs. A heavy rig with a reinforced front end could probably plow through a small-diameter metal pipe, whereas a big cement thing like these might have a better chance of stopping it.
And if you have a complex personality, it looks like one of those phallis-shaped trash cans. :~)
