I wonder how safe the poles are, compared to well tested road signs that are up. Those easily break off when hit. Will you end up with a solar panel through your windshield in an accident? I feel like one good lawsuit could make Flock have to replace every one of them if a lawyer can convince 12 people that they are a physical danger.

If it’s already paid for might as well use them, what a waste of tax dollars. Or at least hit them with a bat and break them if you actually plan on not using them anymore. Covering them with plastic bags allows them to walk it back whenever they feel like it.
