Hello.
For these couple of decades we often see it at crowded checking counters, crowded entrances, etc, which is for people waiting in line in perfect order.
For example, @
english-test.net/toeic/liste … rport.html
you can see it at the nearest to the camera.
In former days, they might have been using ropes for that purpose. But it is not ropes.
There are a lot of poles to support it, or the poles themselves are the part of it.
Between the poles, there is/are rope-equivalent black-and-white-striped tie/ties or band/bands.
What do you call it?
Thank you
