This may be a stupid question, but I just started playing the game. There are these utility poles within certain zones, for example: the flooded village, which are sticking out of the ground. Some of them upright and some of them knocked over slightly. I'm trying to lay asphalt and I'm wondering if there's a way to get rid of these old utility poles. Is there some machine that will dispose of them or do I just need to work around them? Picture for reference.

You just need to work around them unfortunately
Alright, thank you!!!!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve accidentally routed infrastructure routes right into one of those posts in the middle of the pavement because I couldn’t see them while plotting on the map.
I mean, the biggest issue I have with these things is: Like the misplaced North American restaurant buildings and cars, they don't belong in the location of the map scenario.
