Do light fixtures on the interstate have these “door things?”
Yes, I’m sure. The light poles on state expressways do have access points but the cable inside is heavy duty in order to be buried and would be hard to remove in any great sections. It looks like those thieves in Minnesota are only getting short sections of copper wire. I wouldn’t think it’s worth it.
