SNAP’n SAFE U-Channel Sign Post Breakaway
SNAP’n SAFE U-Channel Sign Post Breakaway is an NCHRP 350 compliant breakaway sign post assembly that is designed with a 360° shear point that will prevent the sign post from striking and penetrating the windshield or roof of a vehicle when impacted during a collision. It also helps save money on repairs by saving the anchor post and requiring less labor for repairs.
This breakaway sign post assembly fits 2 lbs./ft., 3 lbs./ft., and 4 lbs./ft. U-channel posts, and weighs 4 lbs. It is made of cast gray iron, 80% of which is recycled material, and can also withstand winds of up to 120 mph. All necessary hardware is included to connect the assembly to both the anchor post and sign post.
