The post is approximately 10 feet high maximum, the stainless steel 'barcode' is possibly 2 feet x 1 foot. They appear at regualr intervals, normally in rural areas.

i think these are for the department of transport - or maybe a traffic survey company - and are used as marker posts when surveys are done.

Are you sure these aren't solar panels, that provide power for traffic monitoring units?

Hmmm... Can't say that I've noticed those. Will have to pay closer attention next time I'm over there.
