Abstract: Signal light apparatus includes a tiltable structure including a mast, a counter-weight and a signal light which is rotatably mounted on a base member. A tilt control assembly including adjustable shoes frictionally engaging a rotor on the mast releasably maintains the tiltable structure at alternative tilt orientations though frictional engagement between structural components of the tilt control assembly.

Abstract: A connecting device is provided, including an elongate member (EM) having two or more engaging elements which are spaced along the length of the EM; and at least one engaging element which orthogonally extends out from the EM and which has a portion which also extends, in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the EM, a distance Y, wherein distance Y extends substantially 15-20% of the length of the EM.
Abstract: A system for transporting a barrier having a plurality of barrier modules having passageways extending therethrough by employing a barrier transport vehicle inserted in the passageways to lift the barrier modules and move the barrier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for automatically guiding a machine that picks up and places roadway barrier segments using satellite global positioning and ultrasonic sensors. The machine is guided by both GPS signals and signals based on ultrasonic measurement of distance from the existing barrier segments.

Abstract: Crash attenuator guardrail apparatus includes an impact head and a backstop having a cable and guardrails supported by guardrail supports located between the impact head and the backstop. Frictional forces are applied to the cable to control and resist movement of the impact head toward the backstop and provide lateral resistance.
