Tommeke is right. Anti-cutting poles or other obstacles are common thing in most of asphalt events. The reason is that the edge of the road is very easy to destroy. They are used also in WRC if it is needed (Alsace sure and as Tom said I saw haybales for same use also in NORF). It depends on locals if they don't care about road damage or not. In Belgium such things are not used. Here they are (even in Barum but not everywhere).
The poles in Jänner were really of different purpose - only to show where the road is when there is a lot of new snow. That same poles were present in past editions of RMC too! Not everywhere but I remember them from Ardeche roads. In 2009 on stage Labatie d'Andaure (it is run this year) there was a pole of which seven cars broke their side mirrors. I have a photo in my flat but I'm not there now.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Poles must be fairly recent - I've been watching rallies since 1983 and only remember them appearing very recently and can only recall them on the IRC.
Are they to really to 'protect the road edges' or to stop mud and stones being dragged onto the asphalt and causing puntures to other cars ?#M-SPORTER

In the last hungarian IRC they put massive wooden logs. Some of them miraculously disappeared after the recce and local drivers posted stunning times in the first day. Later Turan hit one of them and it led him to a terrible roll.
