Technical posts

The striped posts used to identify boundaries, sectioning points, warning systems and technical installations.

Each post is identified by its height and alternating colour pattern.

Together they mark boundaries, overhead-line sectioning, rockfall-warning installations, braking points, technical equipment and former dwarf-signal positions.
