Design of Sign Supports and Structures
This issue of the Record focuses on the design and testing of sign structures and supports. While providing the motoring public with clear directional advice, signs must not pose a threat to safety. The papers presented discuss safety aspects regarding potential hazards sign structures can present, breakaway signs engineered to minimize injuries, safety barriers which protect motorists from sign support crashes and design elements which take into account long-span overhead signs that must bear the greatest wind loads and require maximum structural strength.
