I was driving out of the John Tune airport in Nashville. The power lines right opposite the field have these visibility balls on the wire (though you'd probably hit the T-hangars adjacent if you were close enough to hit the wires). The amusing part is there's one ball on the guy wire for the pole about two feet off the ground. I guess that keeps pedestrians from inadvertently walking into the wire.

maybe helps you not tag the guy wire with a wingtip if taxiing too close?
 
This might be helpful for that guy who was flying under the bridge recently.
 
I'm guessing there's a regulation that there must be a ball on every line within 20 feet of every pole.
