Traffic Gantries or lattice structures above the road are massive constructions that span the entire width of a road or highway.
Purpose: They hold large directional signs, Variable Message Signs (VMS), speed cameras, or toll collection sensors.The most commonly used material is galvanized steel due to its corrosion resistance.They are designed to withstand strong wind gusts and vibrations caused by passing heavy vehicles.
Traffic Light Poles are standard elements of urban infrastructure adapted for intersections.
Purpose: They hold traffic lights and pedestrian push buttons. Additional elements, such as acoustic signals for the visually impaired or countdown timers, are easily mounted onto them. They are designed as breakaway structures upon vehicle impact to reduce the collision force and protect passengers.
Contact Network Supports (overhead line poles) are crucial for the operation of tram, trolleybus, and railway traffic.
Purpose: They provide physical support for high-voltage conductors that supply vehicles with electrical energy. They are engineered to withstand massive horizontal tension forces from the cables, especially in curves.
