Abstract

A description is given of the 5 public installations of breakaway columns erected up to the present. Problems encountered in the full scale operation of the installations and the measures taken to solve them are described. Accident records from three of the breakaway installations show, as expected, that the severity of accidents involving lighting columns is considerably reduced.
