All along the motorway these things are mounted on the crash barrier between the lanes. There’s one crash barrier for each direction of traffic and only one of them has these things mounted.
There’s a couple of different colors, the darker ones fewer, no idea if that is on purpose or coincidence. There’s some with white and red stripes at regular intervals.
I can’t figure the purpose of these, does anyone know?
Anti glare screen system to hide traffic beams from the other side of the road
But looking at the picture there is no road behind them, only the path going up the mountain?
Except that’s not how it works know it all, when you lift a truck the lights are re-aimed, so low or high beams, they’re where they always would have been. If that’s skipped, you literally can light the road you’re on.
Did you know: Open bottom crash barriers decapitate motorcyclists when they crash
👍
Now imagine crash barriers made of steel wire. I don’t know if they are still used in new projects, but there plenty of them around and a reason they were called cheese slicers.
Edit: I had to look it up and it seems these barriers are being or have been removed: https://www.femamotorcycling.eu/wire-rope-barriers-removed/
They’re common in Australia. One of the reasons that motorcyclists are called “temporary Australians” and “meat crayons”.
I would have guess to prevent animals from jumping it and wandering in traffic. The markers on the road side are just reflectors for night driving. This is speculation.
Wind shields, maybe?
