Breakaways
Breakaway Traffic Sign Support Systems: Engineered for Safety and Efficiency
Protect motorists, reduce risk, and meet modern roadway safety standards with engineered breakaway sign support systems built to separate when struck by a vehicle rather than cause severe impact damage.
Why Breakaway Sign Supports Matter?
Roadside signposts are critical for traffic guidance, but when struck by a vehicle, traditional rigid supports can create dangerous, even fatal, situations. Breakaway sign support systems are specifically engineered to yield or separate on impact, allowing the post to safely move out of the way and significantly reduce the forces transferred to vehicle occupants.
Supply Rite supports safer roadways by supplying proven, standards-compliant breakaway sign support systems designed to protect passengers, minimise vehicle damage, and help municipalities and contractors meet strict transportation safety requirements.
