They started installing poles along a main road near where we live and I’m not sure what the white antennas on them are for. Some of the poles have traffic cameras like the one in the picture but others don’t. They are spaced every half to one mile and have antennas on opposite sides, with what looks like a radio cabinet near the base. The antennas are all aligned along the road, pointing parallel to traffic. This is in southwest Pennsylvania.

As for what it's for, it could be anything.

I'm pretty sure that's what Bill Gates will be using to activate the 5G nanobots that we all received in the COVID vaccine.

We were all supposed to die by late 2020. What’s taking so long?

Aah, the classic Soon™. The gaming industry has taught you well.

They forgot to put out all the antennas, and you know how slow big infrastructure projects can be.

They said that people would start dying like flies in no time. Why do I care? You see, currently houses and cars are so expensive, because there are many people who also want to buy those things. If the population was cut to a fraction, as was promised, the prices would crash accordingly due to massive oversupply of everything. I’m still waiting for the day when I can buy a house with 1000 €.
