The distance between the poles depends on the terrain. (cksq)

Use your speedometer if you're driving and get an odometer if you are walking ... I never met someone who didn't just install the pole in the next best place for a pole.
There is no set distance, it just has to be close enough to hold the wires up.

PS But, on average I would guess that they were 30 to 40 feet apart.

It depends, but this is a good thought on estimating distances.
Perhaps, measure the distance between 2 poles. I would do this for 3 or 4 sets of poles. Divide your total by the number of sets you used. This will give you the average distance between poles.
Then, you can count poles through the distance you want to estimate. Multiple the number of poles you counted by the average distance between them and...
VOILA...an estimate of the distance!!!

When I jog at 5 miles per hour, in a rural area of Ottawa, I pass a pole about every 30 seconds. At this speed it takes 12 minutes to run a mile, so in 1 minute you run 1 / 12 of a mile, = 440 feet, and in 30 seconds the distance would be 220 feet between poles

It depends on the size of your horses stride. Ground poles for walking and trotting are usually about the same distance apart-I think about 35-45cm apart-not too sure. For the 16hh thoroughbred I ride who has a medium stride we usually space cantering poles about 3m apart but once again it depends on the size of the stride. A single pole for lunging will be ok as long as it is in a safe position so that the horse won't step on it.

depends on what kind of poles they are. Different poles can be different distances. Also depends on where in the country you are. Areas like florida, with wood poles they are about 180 feet apart.
Also is their a curve in the road. to many differences their.
go with lane markers, they are apprx 10 feet long with a 10 foot break.

I used to work for the power company. The distance varied alot, and would depend on what was nearby, terrain, and the opinion of the person who staked where the poles went. There was never a hard & fast rule for setting them. You would see 250' to 50' distances, so it really wasn't anything specific.

I was told a long time ago by a drivers ed instructor that the poles are about 200 feet apart. That was so you could put on your turning signal about 400 feet from the turn. That being 2 pole away from the turn.

A good way to estimate distance while driving is to time how long it takes to get from one point to another. For example when travelling at 60 mph you will travel a mile in a minute etc.
You do the math

I believe the distance is 150 feet between poles.

If you are on a highway there are mile markers every mile. They are usually just a pole about the height of a car that is painted white on the end or has a small white card. It probably even have numbers usually for the number of miles from the start of the highway.
