Thesetriangularposts are commonly found in these regions. You can go more in-depth with them, too. Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony use unpainted, rocky looking posts, with white plates stuck on each side. Saarland, Thuringia, and Baden-Württemberg use white posts, with the same white plates attached. The posts are usually quite tall, apart from the ones in Baden-Württemberg. Baden-Württemberg also uses grey posts. North Rhine-Westphalia uses white posts without white plates on the sides. You can also find posts which go all the way to the ground. Saarland barely uses these posts at all. However, when they do, it is quite unpredictable.
