Book excerpt: "This test report contains the results of two crash tests performed at the Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) in McLean, Virginia. The/tests were performed on a small sign support system at 20 rni/h (8.9 m/s), test 92F009 and 60 mi/h (26.8 m/s), test 92FOI0. The vehicles used for these tests were 1985, Honda Civics. The purpose of these tests was to evaluate the low- and high-speed safety performance of a dual 4-in by 6-in (102-mm by 152-mm) pressure treated wood post sign support. The performance evaluation was based on the latest requirements for breakaway supports as specified in Volume 54, Number 3 of the Federal Register dated January 5, 1989. These criteria specify, in part, that the occupant change in velocity must be 16 ft/s (4.9 m/s) or less, that the significant test article stub height remaining after impact be no more than 4 in (102 mm), and that there can be no occupant compartment intrusion. The test results indicate·that the dual 4-in by 6-in (102-mm by 152-mm) wood post sign support system meets all of the applicable performance criteria for roadside safety appurtenances specified by the FHWA"--Technical report documentation page.
