This is a photo from two years ago, i stood there for a good minute wondering how the hell and why this weird cycle path was there. It is in southern France, on the climb to Col d'Ecre, bit north of Nice.

Take a guess, i finally fully understand.

Best guess, it's for allowing cars to pass?

Nope.

A hint: These two poles and the one with the solar panel make sense of the whole thing.

Perhaps to turn on something like 'Bicycles ahead' warning lights for an upcoming section with poor visibility, or a tunnel or similar.

No, there is no poor visibility. Google street view from before it was built klick
