Uh, This is Strange! 
This was the oddest thing I saw in Montreal, a OV-25 located in the middle of the road 10 feet off the ground! It is 250 watts and runs during the day, this is just too strange...

Yeah I've seen this a couple times before in Quebec, must be their version of the median beacon.

Yeah, I guess it is. It still seems like it would be horribly glary at night, if I had to do this I would at least use a lower wattage light.

Yeah who'd want one of these things blasting light in their face at night.

I guess maybe it was done so the relamping crews would be able to use the same lamps they already where using for the other roadway fixtures.
