Pretty much this ^

Buildup of silt/dirt/sediment from road spray during rain, and winter time driving inhibits the driver's ability to notice the reflective panels on safety structures, as well as the shine on the galvanized portion of the structure itself. 

Yes, washing guard rails is a thing.  Likely wasn't a thing, until someone claimed that they couldn't see one that they ran into, in a court case..


Edit: Personally, I feel like this would be great community service work for prisoners, along with having them clear clogged storm drainage structures. I mean, if we're going to make them work, might as well give them a foothold on some real world applications..
