Break-Safe®
Transpo's Break-Safe® is an omni-directional breakaway support system for ground mounted signs located within roadside clear zones and other locations vulnerable to vehicular impacts. The system is designed to break away quickly and cleanly upon impact, thus saving lives and reducing property damage costs. Break-Safe® couplings are omni-directional, meaning the system breaks away with consistent, predictable behavior, regardless of the vehicle's angle of impact.

Break-Safe® has been vehicle crash-tested, resulting in a FHWA approval letter based on NCHRP Report 350. In addition to superior safety performance, Break-Safe® provides a high structural load-carrying capacity. New national signing standards specify increased sign sizes for visibility, in addition to increased wind load levels. These changes create a significant increase in structural demands on sign supports. Break-Safe® is designed to support a wide range of post sizes, up to and including the largest permitted by AASHTO. The flexibility built into the system gives you many choices when selecting post types and sizes for specific applications.

Pole-Safe®
Transpo's "Double Neck" Pole-Safe® is an omni-directional breakaway support system for light poles located within roadside clear zones and other locations vulnerable to vehicular impacts. The primary component of the system is a high-strength coupling, designed to break away quickly and cleanly upon impact, saving lives and reducing property damage. Pole-Safe® couplings are omni-directional, meaning the system breaks away with consistent, predictable behavior, regardless of the vehicle's angle of impact.

Pole-Safe® has been vehicle crash-tested in accordance with NCHRP Report 350, and is approved for use on all FHWA funded projects. In addition to superior safety performance, Pole-Safe® provides high structural load-carrying capacity. Extensive finite element analysis and simulated wind-load testing has been used to optimize the system for maximum loading conditions. Pole-Safe® is designed to use with the heaviest pole mass allowed for use on any breakaway system as specified by AASHTO. This allows Pole-Safe® to be used on the largest possible range of light pole sizes and configurations for increased safety and efficiency.
