Road safety is a priority that demands innovative and effective solutions. One of the fundamental elements to ensure this safety is the road signpost. It supports essential signs and signals for driver guidance.
In recent years, the development of collapsible posts has revolutionized road signage. They combine safety, sustainability, and efficiency.
In this article, we’ll explain how the Ecoposte’s collapsible system works. We’ll highlight its advantages and the importance of adopting these eco-friendly signposts to meet government demands.
What is a collapsible road signpost?
A collapsible road signpost is designed to bend or yield in a controlled manner in case of a vehicle collision.
Unlike traditional metal posts, the Ecoposte is manufactured with materials that allow for controlled deformation. This collapsible system reduces the impact of a collision, protecting the lives of drivers and passengers, while also minimizing material damage.
How does the Ecoposte’s collapsible system work?
The Ecoposte is an example of innovation in road safety. Its collapsible system works through a special design that allows the post to deform when hit by a vehicle.
When significant force is applied to the post, it yields at specific points, absorbing part of the impact energy. This means the post not only reduces the force transmitted to the vehicle but also prevents the car’s structure from deforming dangerously.
Moreover, the Ecoposte is made from recycled and sustainable materials. Therefore, it’s an eco-friendly choice for road signage.
This feature not only contributes to environmental preservation but also aligns with sustainability guidelines required in modern infrastructure projects.
Advantages of eco-friendly signposts
Collapsible road signposts, like the Ecoposte, offer several advantages compared to traditional metal posts:
Enhanced safety
The main advantage is safety. The collapsible system protects lives by absorbing part of the impact and reducing damage in case of collisions.
Sustainability
The product is manufactured from recycled materials, contributing to waste reduction and natural resource preservation. This commitment to the environment is crucial for signage projects seeking to minimize their environmental impact.
Durability and low maintenance
The Ecoposte is resistant to corrosion and other environmental factors, ensuring a long lifespan and reducing the need for frequent maintenance. This translates into long-term resource and cost savings for governments and municipalities.
Compliance with standards and regulations
These eco-friendly posts meet rigorous quality and safety standards. In Brazil, they comply with NBR 15486:2016, and in Europe, with EN 12767. This makes them ideal for projects that need to comply with environmental and safety regulations.
