Abstract: The invention relates to an impact-resistant and energy-absorbing item of street furniture comprising only a post, a base plate and an energy-absorbing element, wherein the post and the base plate are shaped in such a manner that, when the post is loaded by an external force F just above the base plate, an obliquely, downwardly directed sliding movement of the post relative to the base plate is obtained, which is damped by the energy-absorbing element, not only in the lengthwise direction n of the street furniture, but also in the direction perpendicular to that lengthwise direction.

Abstract: A longitudinal, channelizing traffic separator system has interlocking D-shaped curb sections with a recessed delineator post mounting receptacle formed in the top side of interlocked sections at an interlock joint. The receptacle will releasably retain a quick-release delineator post. Tapered nose-end sections may be longitudinally aligned with interlocked curb modules at the beginning and end of a sequence of curb modules. The curb sections and nose-end sections have both longitudinal ribs and lateral plates beneath the top side to transmit top side loads to a support surface such as a roadway or bridge.
Abstract: A recessed delinator base for disposition in grooves in a highway or traffic support surface has a body member with leg portions attached to the body and extending outwardly therefrom. The body has a circular notch formed therein to accept a traffic delineator knuckle assembly. Within the notch and extending upwardly from the bottom thereof are a plurality of spaced apart studs. Each stud has and enlarged head portion. At least one detent receiving hole is provided in the bottom of the notch for accepting a detent lock pin for securing the knuckle assembly from rotation once placed within the recessed circular notch in the base. The ramping or sloping legs urge a clearing implement to slide along the top-most portion of the body member thereby avoiding engagement with the knuckle attachment studs when the support surface is cleared or cleaned.
