Regarding the butt-ugly and very substantial surveillance poles being erected every few miles along US1, a Keynoter reader suggests that personal-injury attorneys may wish to file away the information that the poles seem to violate the state's own policy regarding non-collapsible structures placed along the highway.  The following letter-to-editor was in the January 12 Keynoter:
New utility poles may violate policy

I suggest that any attorney who wishes to represent future victims of accidents involving impact with the new huge concrete "intelligent transportation" utility poles being installed in the median of U.S. 1 retain for your files that the Florida Department of Transportation "Utility Accommodation Manual," dated January 1999, states that non-frangible objects (greater than four inches in diameter that cannot be easily broken) shall not be placed in the median nor in the limited access right of way.
