Abstract: A roadside post (10, 110) comprises an elongate body (30, 130) formed of sheet spring steel. The body (30, 130) has a longitudinal axis (L), a front face (31, 131) and a rear face (33, 133). The body (30, 130) is elastically bendable through 90? from an unbent state about a transverse axis (T) transverse to the longitudinal axis (L). The front and rear faces (31, 131, 33, 133) transversely extend generally parallel to the transverse axis (T). The roadside post (10) may further comprise a rigid base (20).

Abstract: A traffic post (41,51) comprises a longitudinally extending upper post section (2), a longitudinally extending lower post section (4) adapted to be driven into a support base, and a longitudinally extending elastically flexible unitary coupling member (43,53) fastened to the upper and lower post sections (2,4). The coupling member is fastened to the upper and lower post sections with a front face thereof abutting a rear face of each of the upper and lower post sections. The coupling member has a width greater than a depth thereof so as to enable deflection in a fore and aft direction perpendicular to the width.
