Lap splice breakaway U-channel posts are frequently used as street sign post. Breakaway U-channel sign support is perfect for busy intersections. Once top post is broken by an accident or huge impact, the broken one will be replaced by a quality one just by unscrewing the hardware without digging holes again. U-channel anchor post can be reused for many times. 8 ft top post often accompanies with 3 ft anchor post. Top post and post anchor are sold separately. U-channel breakaway system contains a top post, base anchor post and hardware. Hot-dip galvanized coating or baked-on green or black enamel coating protects the post system from corrosion and improve durability.
