AI Overview

Those orange things on telephone poles are safety devices (like line covers/guards or "rubber trees") for utility workers, providing insulation and visibility near live power lines, or sometimes they are orange communication/fiber optic cables/conduits, or even just ownership markings (dots/paint) for the utility company like Verizon. The specific meaning depends on if it's a temporary wrap on lines/poles (safety gear for "hot" work) or a permanent orange cable/marker (communication lines/identification).
