Without it people would honestly see space between two cars and hit the pole. The yellow hashes are there because drivers honestly do hit these poles if the hashes aren’t there because drivers are looking for space between cars and sometimes don’t register the relatively small pole

now consider that the pole is more visible than most humans are, and it becomes quite obvious why there are so many injuries and deaths around cars.
