Title: A Guide to Small Sign Support Hardware
Publication Number: M-GSSSH-1
Abstract: Most small highway signs are supported by rolled steel shapes, extruded aluminum shapes, woodposts, steel flange-channel shapes, round tubes, pipes, squares steel tubes, or fiber reinforced plastic shapes. These may be used in a variety of ways to meet the dual requirements of (1) providing support for signs under a broad range of environmental conditions and (2) releasing when struck by a vehicle to minimize the chance of injury to vehicle occupants. This guide is a compilation of proprietary and non-proprietary small sign support hardware. This document presents the state-of-the-art perspective and address crashworthiness features of small sign supports.
