Title: Tallest poles/stands for gantries/masts
Post by: index on February 05, 2021, 02:23:40 PM
Tallest poles/stands for gantries/masts other than telephone poles/monopoles having the stuff mounted on them or anything that serves another purpose other than mounting traffic control devices. (Think this: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4587161,-112.0778156,3a,75y,289.85h,121.04t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s2XXtrkYmdqrLJZkugtkUHA!2e0!5s20110401T000000!7i16384!8i8192) This is more for dedicated gantries/signal poles/masts.


Sometimes there won't be enough space to put the stands for the stuff on elevated roads or bridges or whatever which results in goofy-looking stuff like this: http://prntscr.com/yfhzei


I have no GSV because a friend found it but there's other examples of this I've seen. What are some of the tallest you know of?

This doesn't look that tall on the GSV but if you drive under it it feels taller than usual.
