Break-away’ Overhead Sign
Receives First Crash Test
Texas Transportation Institute
conducted the first full-scale
crash test of its new breakaway
overhead sign bridge Tuesday,
with only moderate damage to
the test vehicle.
The test was witnessed by high
way officials from 20 states, the
District of Columbia and the U. S.
Bureau of Public Roads. The
safety-oriented research project
is being conducted under a
$206,000 contract sponsored by
the participating states, including
Texas.
Sign bridges are structures
which support the large informa
tion and direction markers ex
tending over freeways and inter
state highways. Supports for such
structures are potential hazards
if a vehicle veers out of control
off the roadway.
Dr. Robert Olson, TTI associate
research engineer who heads the
project, said he was “satisfied
with the results.” He indicated,
however, the degree of success
can be determined only by care
ful analysis of various photo
graphic and electronic data.
From all indications, the driver
or other occupants of the ve
hicle would not have been injur
ed, provided they had been wear
ing seat belts, Olson noted. The
car was equipped with a dummy
driver.
TTI hopes to solve the signal
safety problem by applying the
same break-away concept which
has been successful with standard
highway signs erected on the
shoulder. The base of the sign is
designed to disengage upon im
pact and swing up out of the
path of the vehicle, with the
structure’s other three supports
bearing all the sign bridge’s
weight.
Upon impact, the catapulted
vehicle was traveling at 25 mph.
Olson said later tests will be
conducted at 60 mph.
The vehicle’s grill and radia
tor were damaged, but the im
pact was not severe enough to
break the headlights.
POLE GIVES
A Texas Transportation Institute test vehicle sustains only
moderate damage after crashing through a “break-away”
support for an overhead sign bridge. The safety-oriented
project is being conducted by the A&;M facility under a
$206,000 contract sponsored by 21 highway departments
and administered by the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads.
Sign bridges suport the large information markers extend
ed over freeways and interstate highways.
