Quick Delivery For Safe Posts

摘要

A tight deadline for several new signs was the perfect moment for 3M's innovative new Frangible Post System to make its debut on the M54and M6. Diversified technology company 3M announced its Frangible Post System last year in response to the traffic industry's growing support for the idea of 'passive safety'. The Institution of Civil Engineers has come out strongly in favour of passive safety,and the concept also has the backing of the Highways Agency. Currently,approximately one fifth of road fatalities result from a collision with a road side feature,such as a post,a street lamp or tree.By progressively replacing rigid steel posts with 'crash friendly' posts that minimise occupant injury when impacted by a vehicle,the roadside will gradually become less hazardous.
