Pole Purpose?



Notice the orange pole on the side of the road? This is one of many miles of poles that line both sides of the road leading up to the Whittier Tunnel. They continue on for miles. They aren't lights or anything electronic. We have been wondering about their purpose and came up with some theories that are really too silly to even list here. What is your guess? Answer below:















They get so much snow in that area, the snow plows can't figure out where the edge of the road is. These poles guide them.
