power pole
Roadside electrical support
A power pole is a tall wooden, concrete, or metal pole that supports electrical wires and equipment above ground level.
Power poles line roads and streets, carrying electricity from generating stations to homes and businesses.
They also support telephone lines, cable TV wires, and transformers: The storm knocked down three power poles on our street.
