Remember the days when installation of equipment meant installing cabinets behind barriers, up embankments or in other places safely clear of the carriageway? Such installations were expensive, difficult and took time, and there were occasions where the overall hassle meant people just decided it wasn't worth the effort. The development of passively safe products are at the forefront of our industry to make roads safer and to save money. They are installed on the roadside but are crash-resistant so if they are hit by a vehicle the cabinet comes away from its ground foundation while the wiring connecting components inside to a network is simply unplugged. This means that there is now no need to find that "safe" place to put it, meaning financial savings - when ongoing maintenance is taken into account -of around £20,000.
