Transpo Break-Safe® Sign post breakaway support system

Transpo Break-Safe and Pole Safe Omni-Directional Breakaway support Systems http://www.transpo.com

Accident research and field experience have shown that vehicles often leave the roadway impacting structures at high angles of incident.

Break-Safe® is an omni-directional breakaway support system for ground mounted signs located within roadside clear zones and other locations vulnerable to vehicular impacts. The omni-directional performance of Break-Safe® allows the system to break away with consistent, predictable behavior, regardless of the vehicle's angle of impact, thus saving lives and reducing property damage.

Break-Safe® has been crash-tested, resulting in a FHWA acceptance letter based on NCHRP Report 350. In addition to superior safety performance, Break-Safe® provides a high structural load-carrying capacity.
