In plain English
Free distance measuring. Two posts = 100 m, one post = 50 m — which is exactly the following distance you want at 100 km/h.
What you are looking at
Slim white post with a black top band and a reflector — rectangular red reflector on the right-hand side of the road, round white on the left.
