This is a photo from two years ago, i stood there for a good minute wondering how the hell and why this weird cycle path was there. It is in southern France, on the climb to Col d’Ecre, bit north of Nice.
Take a guess, i finally fully understand.

Nope.
A hint: These two poles and the one with the solar panel make sense of the whole thing.
Or a simple bicycle counter - authorities are interested to know how many cyclists are using this route and at what times of day etc.
No bicycle counter. But times of day is being collected.
Hmm, something like a chip timing station so you can time your climb?
Presumably there would be similar ones at the bottom and top also, and perhaps at other points along the way.
Wait a second. There might be something further down and up the hill that i have not fully understood yet, so this could also be a timing machine, i am not sure. It’s not the function that i’m looking for though.
No timing, but this is getting close. There is nothing further down this climb, but this infra apparently also exists on a few other climbs in the area.
I have posted the solution already, but you can keep playing.
Perhaps to turn on something like ‘Bicycles ahead’ warning lights for an upcoming section with poor visibility, or a tunnel or similar.
No, there is no poor visibility. Google street view from before it was built klick
Some sort of service station? Maybe there’s an air pump and various tools in that box?
Hahaha. Thanks for playing my friends.
But no, you are not sopposed to stop there.
