Beehive is a national assisted living franchise with numerous locations. The entrances to these facilities typically have real brick and mortar block stone monument column marquees with suspended embossed sign panels under wooden post arms that welcoming incoming traffic. They require break away sign monuments, meaning if impacted by a vehicle, the sign will literally “break away” from its footer and not harm the driver.<\/p>\n

There is an ongoing issue with sign monuments and liability for businesses (and all other entrance-style sign monuments including city municipalities). The monument owner may be liable for driver injury and vehicle damages incurred by vehicle impact, especially in fatal incidents. So if an elderly driver hits your sign and is injured \u2013 the facility owner may be liable.<\/p>\n

There is a simple solution to this situation which is referred to as a \u201cbreak away\u201d style sign monument. This means on impact, the monument itself will literally break off the ground and move out of the way, causing minimal vehicle damage and preventing fatal injury.<\/p>\n

All of our sign monuments are a break away solution, and in our company history there have yet to be any injuries on impact.<\/p>\n

Beehive Homes franchise owners wanted to update their existing entrance marquee signs to a break away style solution, which we easily matched in our faux masonry (foam core base). Here is a picture of the original block stone (real masonry) column-style monument:<\/p>\n

Our sign products arrive fully assembled, ready to position in place. We offer faux masonry such as brick and stone matching, embossed graphics that are vandal resistant, and other options such as:<\/p>\n
