Closer Gilles, there was something that happened that gave rise to the thought of the signalling post in terms of safety.

Was there a Ferrari involved ? If yes then it was some time in the 1950s.

Wahhaaaayyy!! Well done Gilles!!

It was indeed part of the modifications made in the name of safety after the 1955 accident.
