About this file

This document is a technical specification and installation manual for breakaway U-Post sign supports issued by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) for Bid Solicitation #25DPP01157, designated as T0121 Breakaway U-Post Sign Supports - Statewide. The document is part of a state and local contract award package and involves NJDOT as the contracting agency and Transpo Industries, Inc. as the manufacturer of the Break-Safe breakaway sign support systems. The specifications reference multiple model types including the Break-Safe Models AS4, AS4H, B525, and B650, which are designed to meet AASHTO Standard Specifications for Structural Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaires and Traffic Signals.

The goods under contract consist of complete breakaway sign support systems including aluminum or steel brackets, coupling assemblies, hinge plates, anchors, and associated hardware components. Installation instructions are provided for anchor assembly, hinge assembly, bracket assembly, and coupling assembly procedures for ground-mounted sign installations. The specifications detail component dimensions, material specifications (galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys), fastener requirements, and assembly methodologies. Multiple bracket options are specified based on post depth, and the systems accommodate various sign panel sizes ranging from 18" x 18" to 60" x 60" configurations. The document establishes technical standards for concrete footings, grading details, clearance requirements, and spacing specifications to ensure proper installation and safety compliance across statewide NJDOT highway sign support applications.

POST DRILLING FOR TYPE B525 AND B650

UPRIGHT POSTS (SKETCH A)

Note: Precise positioning of the anchors is critical to proper assembly of the system. It is recommended that actual posts be used to locate the correct postion of the anchors.

1. Fabricate a flat, rigid template with four (4) 16mm (5/8") diameter holes located to match the specified anchor pattern of the Break-Safe Brackets attached to the signpost. See diagram below.

2. Attach four (4) Transpo Type A Female Anchors to the template using four (4) 16mm (5/8") diameter bolts. Ensure that each Anchor Washer is snug against the bottom of the template.

3. Lower Anchor Assembly into fresh concrete foundation, and vibrate into position such that the tops of the Anchor Washers are flush with the finished top surface of the foundation. Support the template such that all Anchors are level and in their proper locations.

4. Allow concrete to cure, and then remove the bolts and template from the top of the foundation.

BRACKET ASSEMBLY:

1. Drill eight (8) 14.3mm (9/16") diameter holes in the bottom end of the post section as shown.

2. Place Brackets squarely on outer surface of the post, and secure with bolts, lock washers, and nuts. Then, tighten all 1/2 turn beyond snug.

COUPLING ASSEMBLY:

1. Thread four (4) Break-Safe Couplings into Anchors. Do not tighten.

2. Suspend post assembly over foundation, insert Special Bolts through holes in the Brackets, and thread them snug into the Couplings.

3. If post is not plumb, insert Shims (14g and/or 18g) between the Couplings and Anchors, where needed.

4. Use lower wrench flats to tighten Couplings into Anchors as tight as possible using a convensional wrench. Do not use a pipe wrench. Couplings must be seated squarely.

5. Tighten Special Bolts while holding Couplings by the upper wrench flats with an additional wrench to prevent an induced torque stress across the necked portion of the Coupling. All Special Bolts shall also be tightened as tight as possible using convensional wrenches.

SIGN PANEL ASSEMBLY:

1. After all signposts are secured in place, attach sign panel assembly to posts in accordance with the sign manufacturer's recommendations.

AS "ONE WAY" SIGNS INSTALLED IN MEDIANS.

5. SIGN PANEL SIZES ARE TO DETERMINE POST TYPE AND NUMBER AS SHOWN ON THIS DETAIL.

6. BOLTS ARE NOT TO PROTRUDE MORE THAN ¾" BEYOND THE NUT WHEN TIGHT, BUT ARE TO

ENGAGE ALL THREADS IN THE NUT.

7. WHEN SIGNS ARE INSTALLED ON SLOPES 10H:1V OR FLATTER, THE MINIMUM VERTICAL

CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR SIGNS ARE:

FOR SINGLE POST INSTALLATIONS - THE MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE

PAVEMENT AND THE BOTTOM OF ANY PANEL MUST BE 7 FEET, AND THE MINIMUM DISTANCE

FROM EDGE OF PAVEMENT TO THE TOP OF ANY SIGN PANEL MUST BE 9 FEET.

FOR MULTI-POST INSTALLATIONS - THE MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE EDGE OF PAVEMENT

AND THE BOTTOM OF A MAIN SIGN PANEL MUST BE 7 FEET.

THE EDGE OF PAVEMENT AND THE BOTTOM OF A SECONDARY SIGN PANEL IS 6 FEET.

SECONDARY SIGN PANELS (INTERSTATE AND FREEWAYS) - THE BOTTOM OF THE MAIN SIGN

TO BE A MINIMUM OF 8 FEET AND THE SECONDARY SIGN PANEL A MINIMUM OF 5 FEET

ABOVE THE EDGE OF PAVEMENT.

WHERE GRADING OF 10H:1V OR FLATTER CANNOT BE OBTAINED, OR WHERE CURB OR BERM

IS GREATER THAN 4 INCHES, THE MINIMUM VERTICAL CLEARANCE WILL BE MEASURED FROM

THE GROUND LINE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SIGN.

8. THE HORIZONTAL OFFSET FROM EDGE OF PAVEMENT TO EDGE OF SIGN IS DERIVED FROM

SECTION 2A.19 OF THE MUTCD AS FOLLOWS:

FOR URBAN INSTALLATIONS - IN AREAS WHERE LATERAL OFFSETS ARE LIMITED, A MINIMUM

LATERAL OFFSET OF 2 FEET IS DESIRABLE. A MINIMUM OFFSET OF 1 FOOT FROM THE FACE

OF THE CURB MAY BE USED IN AREAS WHERE THE SIDEWALK WIDTH IS LIMITED OR WHERE

EXISTING POLES ARE CLOSE TO THE CURB.

FOR RURAL INSTALLATIONS - 6 FEET MINIMUM DESIRABLE FROM EDGE OF SHOULDER, BUT 12

FEET MINIMUM DESIRABLE FROM EDGE OF TRAFFIC OR AUXILIARY LANE.

FOR INTERSTATE AND FREEWAY INSTALLATIONS - 6 FEET MINIMUM DESIRABLE FROM EDGE OF

SHOULDER, BUT NOT LESS THAN 12 FEET FROM THE EDGE OF TRAFFIC OR AUXILIARY LANE.

FOR RAMP INSTALLATIONS - 6 FEET MINIMUM FROM EDGE OF ROAD.

WHERE BEHIND GUIDE RAIL - 4 FEET MINIMUM FROM BACK OF BEAM GUIDE RAIL ELEMENT TO

SIGN POST .

9. DO NOT INST ALL PERMANENT SIGN SUPPORTS ON SLOPES GREATER THAN 10H:1V, EXCEPT

WHERE GRADING OF 10H:1V CANNOT BE OBTAINED OR THE SIGN SUPPORTS WILL BE

BEHIND A TRAFFIC BARRIER. THE SLOPE IS TO EXTEND A MINIMUM OF 3 FEET BEYOND

THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF SIGN (SEE GRADING DETAIL FOR SLOPE TREATMENT).

10. EXTRUDED ALUMINUM SIGN PANELS ARE NOT PERMITTED FOR USE WITH STEEL U-POST

SIGN SUPPORTS.

11. DO NOT PLACE STEEL U-POST SIGN SUPPORTS IN FRONT OF GUIDE RAIL AND THE POSTS

MUST NOT STRADDLE GUIDE RAIL.
