A GUIDE TO SMALL SIGN SUPPORT HARDWARE

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 change of injury to vehicle occupants. This guide is a compilation of proprietary and non-proprietary small sign support hardware.
