Break-away Sign Monuments

Are You Protected From Vehicle Impact?

We design, manufacture and deliver custom architectural sign monument structures that are designed to prevent driver fatality upon impact. This is a quickly growing requirement for new signage standards. especially in City or Municipality entrances and Residential Neighborhoods.

A driver injured in such an accident could lead to costly lawsuits and insurance claims. Recognizing this potential hazard, the design and construction of entrance signs have undergoing a critical transformation.

Break-away sign monuments are not simply flimsy structures; they are engineered to absorb and dissipate impact energy. Their design incorporates specialized materials and structural elements that allow the sign to detach from its base upon impact. This controlled detachment prevents the sign from becoming a projectile, minimizing the risk of harm to the driver.

Watch this video of a teenage driver running into a traditional stone & mortar column sign.
Imagine what would have happened if a larger monument or at a higher speed!

Entrance sign monuments have always been made using a concrete block core with a brick or stone veneer. This in effect is a "building" and are NOT intended to be hit by drivers - but these are installed in the right of way, right next to the traffic. The only solution is a break-away product. Each project will have different needs, and each project is made to order.

Unfortunately, this teenage driver did not survive the impact.

Can I See An Example?

The City of Blakely received a grant for improvements and beautification. One of the requirements was that any signage met current break-away standards (The Federal Government is helping brining all municipalities to current safety standards - see if you are eligible!). The City Council requested several designs from our team. They published the designs in the local paper, allowing the citizens to vote on what THEY would like to see throughout the City.
