The canadian lampposts with truss arms of road no.6 in direct meeting I think the reason for these lamppost, that, except in highway no.1, aren't exists in Israel, is to allow to light the whole roads from only one side. Such a long arms in lampposts aren't accepted in Europe and Israel, and highways, usually lighted by lampposts from the two directions or by spanwire lanterns. I never saw so long arms in stand alone lampposts in Israel, only in electricity poles (Rare today). The lanterns themselves aren't american, and they are made probably by Ragni.

Are you sure these are Canadian poles?...a lot of other companies make similar looking poles and arms.

The best way to make sure is to look for nameplate on the poles themselves, the majority of Canadian poles have a nameplate near the handhole.

joe: I looked in the site of the israeli manufacturer Ben-Hur, and found that they makes also truss arms like these.
So these may be Ben-Hur truss arms.

Then shouldn't you check the poles instead of assuming in the description it's a Canadian pole? Confused

Someone in LG or here told me that these are canadian lamppost when i uploaded a photo of this highway (Which is a toll road) from the Trans-Israel Highway article in the Hebrew Wikipedia, that displayed these lamppost. The picture was the first time i saw truss arms in Israel (Before i saw them in my eyes when i drove (I wasn't the driver) in this toll highway with my mother and my brother).
Ben Hur makes truss arms in Israel, but they are much shorter than these ones. So i don't know if these are from Ben-Hur.
Postscript: I googled for "Arms for lamppost" in hebrew, and found that these truss arms, are manufactured especially for this toll highway by P.L.H Lighting Enginerring LTD in Israel.

Simplest solution is to check the nameplate on the poles where it's safe like at a offramp or something.
