Up in the mountain area the danger of high wires is for collision of
gliders (planes)and human gliders. But, not sure what good a sign on the
ground
would do for those 2 situations. Normally they put basketball sized orange
balls on the wire for visibility rather than signs at ground level. So, a
mystery looking for a better explanation. Mark

In the last year or so I have noticed the appearance, along Interstate
highways here in MA, of signs indicating where power lines are crossing
the
highways. Now, if these lines were low enough that there was a danger of a
truck snagging them, I could understand it. But no, most of these lines
appear to be well above the road, 50, 75, maybe 100 feet above the tallest
trucks. Anything that would fit under the bridges is in no danger.
Does anyone know the reason for this? Is this happening around the
country? Certainly some sign makers are being enriched, but is any other
purpose being served?
