Abstract: Impact absorbing street pole extending substantially along a longitudinal direction, the street pole comprising an elongated extension (17) detachably connected at a predetermined height to a first part (18) of the street pole such that upon impact on the first part of the street pole, the elongated extension disconnects from the street pole.

Abstract: A street pole (1) extending substantially along a longitudinal direction (8) and comprising a hollow cylindrical body (6) extending around the longitudinal direction (8) along a circumferential direction (9), the hollow cylindrical body (6) comprising at least one overlap (2) of a first (3) and a second edge (4) of a circumferential side wall (7) forming the hollow cylindrical body (6), the hollow cylindrical body (6) comprising fastening means (5) for interconnecting the first and the second edge (3, 4), the overlap (2) having a length (10) extending substantially parallel along the longitudinal direction (8), wherein the overlap (2) has a width (11) extending substantially along the circumferential direction (9).
