The upright looks like it has a couple line of site antennas and a power/network box probably. Looks like it is running/networking the device pointed downwards. That device likely has a series of sensors for detecting vehicle traffic. This setup helps track traffic for traffic control.

I agree with you on the antennas. The device on the bottom kinda looks like a toll road transponder.

It's possible. Though I think those usually span multiple lanes and include license plate cameras.
