Such a "faraday shield" can be found here in DL as well. They serve to
protect the traffic on the road from becoming entangled with over-head high
tension lines when broken acidently (under heavy iceing).

Unless the wire cage alias faraday shield has good electrical
connection to local ground, it will not serve as a shield.
It will just float in synchronism with the LF EM field.

Thanks, Gamal. I must examine the earthing next time  pass under!
