Hi everyone. This isn’t project-related but just always been curious and thought someone on here would be able to give me an answer. Sometimes I see three small coloured circles on hydro poles and I was wondering what these are. They are usually at street level, about 7 ft from the bottom of the pole. I’ve seen green, blue, white, and red. I have attached a photo showing an example, next to the no stopping sign.

Can anyone tell me what these are for?

Thanks!

But you are mostly correct, Jeff.
Good point, bad example.

Nope, not Portland Gas and Electric. Them down south are Pacific Gas and Electric, but in Portland the very similar initials are just Portland General Electric (no '&').
 
I guess my bad example is getting worse.
