Question

Answer 1

Those are snow fences.  They are there to help "catch" the snow so it doesn't blow onto the road.  They help some, but when there is a snow storm the road always ends up closing.

Answer 2

It could be 4 two main reasons

1.for farming and such or,

2.the land has been bought and not occpied and theyput fences around the land so nobody would trespass onto it.

(Its most likely the 2nd one bcause that is how are land is in Arizona)
