Anyone else notice the "guardrail" appears to be made from surplus WWII tempory runway materials such as shown below?

I think that product was called to "Marston mat'. Was a temporary runway surface used in WWII

Back in the 80s there was an abandoned bridge next to my inlaws.... and that matting was used as guardrails on both sides, on his side of the river. Needless to say, the local yokels would come by and steal it. Seems they wanted it to make ramps for the trailers for their dirt track cars. Half the of the old road was his and he turned in a number of local yokels for theft.... the matting on his side belonged to him. They had to return it, but most came back in the middle of the night and eventually took it all. That is some tuff stuff that lasted for years.
