Does anyone know what the black rope like things are for on wilmington Drive? They are closer to the Burke Lake road side.

Do they go to a metal box, probably chained up to a signpost?

If so, they're for a temporary traffic counter. VDOT does a traffic count on most roads at least once a year.

I think that's the secret bat signal to my brothers that we're going to have a "get together" in the area tonight. Oops! I've said too much.

If they're really thick, they're telephone cables.
