About this file

This document is a comprehensive technical specification (SIGN-207-D) from the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) detailing a Perforated Steel Square Tube Sign Breakaway System. The specification provides detailed engineering drawings, installation instructions, and component specifications for a standardized sign support system designed to meet NCHRP 350 safety standards. The system is engineered to allow traffic signs to break away near ground level upon vehicle impact, with precise technical specifications for components including slipbase, steel posts, anchors, bolt assemblies, and installation procedures for various mounting scenarios like concrete barriers and median walls.

The technical specification includes material specifications such as galvanized steel components, with specific requirements for steel grades, wall thicknesses, and fabrication processes. The system supports single and double sign configurations with maximum sign area limits (21 square feet for single, 44 square feet for double) and is rated for 90 MPH wind speeds. Detailed installation guidelines cover anchor placement, bolt torque specifications (80 ft-lbs maximum), and compliance with MDOT standard construction specifications. The design allows for flexible installation on various surfaces, including concrete barriers, with specific provisions for sign height, positioning, and connection methods.
