A bollard system may include a bollard, a carrier device having a recess adapted to carry the bollard in a stowed configuration, and a pivot rod fixedly secured to the bollard and received by a pivot carrier of the carrier device. The bollard may be adapted to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the pivot rod between a deployed configuration and the stowed configuration. The bollard system may also include a lock plate adapted to be received by the carrier device to maintain the bollard in the deployed configuration. The bollard system may further include a cover plate carried by the carrier device and adapted to cover at least a portion of the recess of the carrier device in both the stowed configuration and the deployed configuration.
