It has been estimated that vehicle collisions with rigid roadside features such as sign posts cause over 15% of all road fatalities.

These objects cannot always be removed and this is where the fully-tested and passively safe Frangible Safety Post System can help save lives: it gives way when struck. The Frangible Safety Post has a unique patent protected design which combines the strength to support large signs in strong winds with the ability to shatter, collapsing in a predictable and safe manner, if struck by an errant vehicle. This passively safe sign post complies with BS EN 12767 and BS EN 12899-1.
