This tag refers to boxes and other structures containing plants for decoration. They are commonly placed on highways, pedestrianised areas and low-traffic neighbourhoods as a barrier preventing the passage of cars and other wide motor vehicle, while enabling safe movement of people, wheelchairs, bikes and other light modes of transport. Often they are place while blocking cars and larger vehicles. They are used to create 'filtered permeability' and are a type of modal filter.

See also man_made=planter One object can be tagged both with man_made=planter and barrier=planter, planters that are not barriers should be tagged with just man_made=planter.
