Yes, and so is the 30,000 mile figure. Detail: I'm speaking in generalizations here, but it seems that small and even less traveled roads that have pylons often have these damages. Scarily, on a run today, a "lightly" traveled road in a residential area had multiple "stop for pedestrian" signs that had been knocked down. I find this particularly scary on the (non major side street) that I live - where other than residents (300ppl) and 1 business (< 300 ppl) few people should choose to drive - loses these road pylons in a matter of days.
