lane channelization and centerline hardening
Vertical delineators have been used to calm traffic at many locations in the City of Sacramento and elsewhere. There are four primary settings: temporary curb extensions (SacCity curb extensions + daylighting, or not, and many others), separated bikeway markers (Separated bikeway demo on P St, and many others), lane channelization (Strong SacTown: Things that work: traffic posts, and others), and centerline hardening.
