Eight Arms - HTT

I call this the octopus pole. It has eight arms carrying all the different lines. However, that is not what caused me to stop In the road on this wet cloudy day.

 

What I find unusual is that the lines cross the road to this pole, just so they can immediately cross back to where they started on the other side of the road again.

Does that make any sense?

 

Happy Telegraph Tuesday!
