Telegraph poles take over sidewalk

About 70 telegraph poles have been installed on a sidewalk that is just 300-meter-long in Beihai city, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, on Friday, according to dfic.cn.

As there are too many poles, pedestrians are unable to walk on the sidewalk and are instead forced to risk injury and even death by walking on the road.

According to the report, only a few of these poles are for electricity, while the use of the rest is not clear yet.
