Every day we pass power poles covered with various forms of communication, did you ever wonder what it all means?

Each piece has some personal thoughts:

Pole No. 1 –
We walk past these every day, what do they mean?

Pole No. 2 –
I assume they indicate electricity, telecommunications or maybe the condition of the pole – but what else?

Pole No. 3 –
There are nailed on medallions of different colours and shapes, white ‘X’ marks the spot and silver rectangular plaques with official looking writing.

Pole No. 4 –
Large numbers probably indicate the street number, but what about the other things?
