Gas-pipe goalposts

All over Armenia I saw this shape - over the road or at the entrance to fields or people's front drive. It's the gas main. They don't bury it, so they have to stick a couple of supports up each time it crosses a road. It wouldn't take much: A few shots from a .22 or a drunken driver would be all it would take to break it, I can't believe it doesn't happen more often and I hope this is only the LP domestic supply, not the national grid.
