Crash Friendly
'Crash Friendly' post spotted on the M6. This Swedish manufactured post is made from glass reinforced plastic (GRP).
Despite best efforts to improve road safety through engineering, education and enforcement measures, road crashes, by their random and multi-causal nature, continue to happen at an unacceptable rate. According to the IAM Motoring Trust, nearly a fifth of all those killed in the UK each year are involved in a collision with a roadside feature.
‘Passively safe' crash friendly roadside features, such as lightweight sign posts, lighting columns and vehicle restraint systems that offer a lower risk of personal injury when struck by a vehicle, are now being installed alongside many of our roads.
Here is a Jerol signpost under a controlled test:
