Abstract: This invention relates to an arrangement for suspending lighting fittings and the like along or at traffic-routes and the like, comprising lines carried by standards and intended to carry or support the lighting fittings. The novelty lies in that the standards and the lines form two separate systems, wherein the line system is continuous along the traffic-route and releasably connected to the standard system so that the line system substantially remains in its elevated position even if part of the standard system is removed on e.g. a standard being struck by a vehicle.
