i wonder what will happen to me if my pedal strike the metal bollard while going say 12 mph?

will it snag my pedal and throw me off my bike? or will it just be a glancing blow and i keep upright and can keep pedaling?

This does look like poor, risky design. That being the case, I'd slow down to negotiate them safely.
