Maybe they're something new to stop inequitable road use.
I do feel so sorry for all those poor motorists and the things stopping them from doing what they want on the road.

They are there to allow you to show beam patterns and light throw from your lights...you stand on one side of the carriageway and see how much of the paint you can bubble off the post on the other side!

There's something they are testing in NW Spain which is a pattern of little white boxes painted on the hard shoulder of the motorway that turn red when the temperature drops below a certain level to advise you of potentially icy conditions.

Doesn't sound like that but just thought I would share it.
