 Passive Safety UK Guidelines for
Specification and Use of
Passively Safe Street Furniture
on the UK Road Network
(Last updated 11/04/2023)

Passive Safety UK continues to be committed to promote safer

roadsides. Passive safety can greatly reduce the road toll on non-
trunk roads where most of our road casualties now occur.
These updated guidelines are to assist Highway Authorities in
employing passive safety to help make their roads safer. They
continue to target local authority roads where most ‘Killed and
Serious Injured’ accidents occur and should be read in conjunction
with the UK National Annex contained in EN12767:2019.
With any latest development there will be concerns about risk. With
Passive Safety in the past, this was centred on the possibility of
frangible posts hitting pedestrians or causing other secondary
accidents. Statistical and anecdotal evidence continues to show that
these concerns are groundless, and that the real risk is from impacts
with conventional street furniture and above all trees, as is so clearly
demonstrated in the relevant road casualty statistics.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 These guidelines provide advice for the adoption and
selection of the appropriate type of passively safe
signposts, lighting columns, traffic signal poles, bollards
and other passively safe street furniture for all rural and
urban roads. The guidelines are advisory and we advise
highway authorities to consider fully whether to adopt
them in full or in part. Passive Safety UK continues to
believe that there are no safety risks but only safety
benefits if they are adopted. Advice is given on
prioritising passive safety to those roads where it is
likely to offer the greatest benefit.
1.2 Passively safe signposts and lighting columns are
now widely used on the Trunk Road Network where the
speed limit is 50 mph or over. The DMRB legitimised
passively safe signposts and lighting columns many years
ago and as a result these are the preferred alternatives
to conventional posts and columns safeguarded by
safety fences on the Trunk Road Network. Conventional
signposts, lighting columns and utility poles were
together responsible for many deaths and serious
injuries in recent years. There will have been further
deaths and serious injuries from hitting these items in
multiple vehicle collisions which are not included in the
single vehicle collision statistics. It is very clear that using
passively safe signposts and lighting columns saves lives
on Trunk Roads and this benefit continues to be
transferable to their broader use on local roads.
Passively safe street furniture can significantly reduce
deaths and serious injuries on these roads. It should be
noted that while speed affects the severity of collisions
the statistics demonstrate serious injury casualties and
deaths with street furniture frequently occur in both
urban areas and on rural roads.
1.3 Driver error or behaviour is often a prime cause in
street furniture impacts. Use of passively safe street
furniture almost eliminates the chance of serious injury
or death in these impacts regardless of the cause of the
collision.
1.4 Although passively safe street furniture is often
more expensive than its traditional counterpart,
measures such as clearing the area next to the
carriageway and reducing unnecessary signs and
roadside clutter can cost little or even save money. The
wide range of passively safe signposts and lighting
columns using aluminium or composites also offer a long
and maintenance free life. Several electrical suppliers
offer electrical isolation systems for the passively safe
lighting column and traffic signal market. As a result
designs involving roadside passive safety continues to be
increasingly affordable.
1.5 Chapter 9 discusses electrical safety for passively
safe items with a power supply. This is relevant to
illuminated signs, lighting columns and traffic lights.
1.6 The difficult area of trees and roadside safety is
explored. Balancing environmental interests, people’s
love of trees and roadside safety is emotive and difficult
to reconcile. Deaths and serious injuries from impacts
with trees remain frequent but the toll can be reduced if
suitable measures are taken.
1.7 Using passively safe signposts and lighting columns
saves lives. The main barriers to their widespread use
remain initial cost, some continued resistance to change
and a lack of appreciation by highway authorities of the
safety benefits they can certainly deliver.
CHAPTER 2: PRIORITISING ROADS
FOR PASSIVE SAFETY
2.1 Passive Safety UK advises that non trunk A and B
roads should be prioritised for the use of passively safe
street furniture as follows:
Priority All Rural A-Roads
Priority 2 40mph Urban A-roads
Priority 3 All Rural B-roads
Priority 4 40 mph Urban B-roads
Priority 5 30 mph Urban A-roads
Priority 6 30 mph Urban B-roads
2.2 The following roads are lower risk and are unlikely to
need passively safe street furniture (unless collision
history or other risk factors indicate otherwise).
a) Roads with 20mph speed limits
b) Roads usually lined with parked cars
c) residential and factory estate roads and
roads where traffic speeds are unlikely to
exceed 25 mph
d) Country lanes and roads with low traffic
volumes (unless there is a pertinent
collision history or an obvious high risk
feature such as a heavy concrete lighting
column on the outside of a sharp bend).
CHAPTER 3: GENERAL GUIDANCE
ON PASSIVE SAFETY
PROVISION OF CLEAR ZONES
3.1 A clear zone next to the carriageway will make a
large contribution to roadside safety. Historically the
DMRB advised a clear zone of 4.5metres for trunk roads
where speed limits were 50 mph or over. Current advice
for trunk roads in the DMRB dictates that barrier
provision/clear zone width is subject to a risk
assessment approach.
3.2 For non-trunk A or B roads a 4.5m clear zone is
recommended free of hazardous obstructions where
verge space is available but all efforts to provide as
much of a 4.5m clear zone width as is reasonably
possible are likely to improve safety. Signposts and
lighting columns within 4.5m of the edge of the
carriageway should be passively safe unless behind a
safety fence.
3.3 There are locations where a 4.5m clear zone may be
considered insufficient. Examples are:
a) where vehicles have, in the past, left the road at
speed at bends ending up a long way from the
carriageway
b) where the ground falls away from the road, in
these cases a wider clear zone or safety fence may
be needed. In built up areas it may often be
impossible to provide a clear zone as the footway
is often next to the road and there are often
buildings or boundary walls at the back of the
footway. However, the use of passively safe street
furniture next to the road will still be
advantageous in these situations.
3.4 Where above ground utilities are located these
should be sited where possible 4.5m or more away from
the carriageway on A and B roads. Utility poles, in
particular, pose a significant risk to vehicle occupants.
3.5 Keeping non-passively safe street furniture and all
heavy roadside obstructions and potential hazards
outside of the clear zone for A and B roads may often
involve only careful planning and should be considered
as a goal for all road schemes.
DESIREABILITY OF ENERGY ABSORPTION
IN PASSIVELY SAFE PRODUCTS
3.6 Many but not all passively safe signposts and lighting
columns yield and crush at the point of impact and
absorb energy in the process. If an energy absorbing
post or column is of a break away type (SE – Separating)
it will not gain significant kinetic energy in an impact and
will fall to the ground fairly close to the foundation. It
will also safely yield if one should hit another vehicle in
the unlikely event of a secondary event. Chapter 4
discusses EN 12767 classifications in more detail.
SLIP BASED POSTS
3.7 Slip based signposts and lighting columns have been
rarely used in the UK. They traditionally have a slotted
base plate which allows the post to slip and break away
on impact. As a result they are classified as single
directional (SD) within the standard. They are certainly
much safer than traditional non-passively safe signposts
and lighting columns but suffer from the following
problems:
a) Corrosion can cause lock-up in the slip release
mechanism.
b) Torque bolts need to be checked at regular
intervals
c) The impact has to come from the right direction
for slip and break away to satisfactorily occur.
d) The steel posts used with slip bases are not
yielding, can be relatively heavy and may bounce
elastically away from the car in an impact raising
the risk of a secondary event.
e) if used on embankments the vehicle may hit the
post at height. Slip bases may lock up in these
situations. Slip based posts have been associated
with serious and fatal collisions in Scandinavia
and Iceland and are not recommended by Passive
Safety UK.
‘DEEMED TO COMPLY’ SIGNPOSTS
3.8 Rules for ‘deemed to comply’ signposts (as identified
in the standard) are given in Annex K of EN 12767 and
are summarised as follows:
a) For two or more supports, the clear
opening between the supports must be
equal to or bigger than 1500 mm
measured at an impact angle of 20°.
b) Where post centres are less than 1500
mm, post dimensions shall not exceed 76
mm diameter and 3.2 mm wall thickness.
c) In such a case with only two posts, the post
centres should not be less than 750 mm.
d) No bracing should be used between the
posts, which should only be connected by the
sign.
3.9 In crash tests these smaller posts flatten under the
vehicle and are very unlikely to break away. For smaller
signs these posts provide an economical passively safe
solution for all locations.
TREES
3.10 Trees on UK roads are statistically equal, if not
more of a danger, than man-made roadside
infrastructure. The challenge for designers is to reconcile
these road safety issues with landscaping and
streetscape considerations, within the current
environmental legislation. Trees are exceptionally
dangerous to strike as a result of their weight, strength
and rigidity. On motorways the risk of a fatality involving
a vehicle striking a tree is higher than if it hits a road
sign.
3.11 The DMRB advises that a tree or trees having, or
expected to have, trunk girths of 250mm or more
(measured at a height of 0.3m above ground level, at
maturity) are a risk. Many non-trunk rural roads will
have numerous trees exceeding this limit close to the
carriageway.
3.12 Passive Safety UK proposes that where such trees
exist, consideration be given to lowering the speed limit,
carrying out preventative coppicing (where trees are
suitable), removing trees where possible and creating
policies that encourage only shrubs being planted near
the road and for larger trees to be sited a safe distance
from the carriageway on A and B roads.
FOUNDATIONS
3.13 Some passively safe signposts, lighting columns and
signal poles are designed to be readily replaced after an
impact by employing the use of socketed foundations,
anchored cradles, buried precast foundation units and
driven or screwed steel foundations.
It is important that any foundation does not significantly
protrude above the ground to avoid catching the vehicle
in an impact.
The importance of the foundations should be
considered. The foundation is part of the passive safe
solution and you should always ask for the installation
instructions from the manufacturers so that the product
is installed in the right way to achieve the right outcome
in a collision.
CHAPTER 4: BS EN 12767:2019
“PASSIVE SAFETY OF SUPPORT
STRUCTURES FOR ROAD
EQUIPMENT – REQUIREMENTS
AND TEST METHODS”
4.1 The main changes from the previous document are
that rather than just three required parts to the
classification, (Speed, energy absorption and occupant
safety) there is now a further four additional classes.
(Backfill type, collapse mode, direction of impact and
risk of roof indentation).
These additions may also affect where and when some
existing products should be used.
4.2 In more detail, the current standard changes the way
in which existing and new passive products are
classified, affecting how they need to be specified. Whilst
the energy absorption classes for existing products
remain unchanged (HE, LE or NE) the speed class and
Occupant safety level class change.
4.3 With regard to the speed class, depending on the
observed collapse mode, the standard now allows
products to be declared in more than one speed class,
without being tested at other speeds. Whilst the speed
classes for existing products remain unchanged, it may be
that additional classes can be declared for them,
dependant on the observed collapse mode when they
were originally tested.
4.4 Changes to the classification of occupancy safety
level are that HE or LE 1, 2 or 3 become HE or LE E, D or
C and NE 1, 2, 3 or 4 become NE D, C, B or A. However, it
is now also possible for there to be a specification of HE
B, LE B, or NE B and an NE E.
4.5 There are also additional classes defined in the
standard. These are: Backfill Type, Collapse Mode,
Direction of Impact and Risk of Roof Indentation.
4.6 There are now three types of Backfill class identified:
S (Standard aggregates), X (Special Foundation) and R
(Rigid Foundation).
4.7 There are two types of collapse modes identified, SE
(Separation) and NS (Non- separation). These relate to
how the product behaves upon impact.
4.8 There are three direction classes identified, MD
(Multi-directional), BD (Bi-directional) and SD (Single
directional). These relate to whether the product
performs in the same way when struck from different
approach angles.
4.9 There are two classes of roof indentation now
identified, 0 (Vehicle Roof deformation less than
102mm) and 1 (Vehicle Roof deformation equal to or
greater than 102mm).
CHAPTER 5: PERFORMANCE CLASS
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
PASSIVELY SAFE PRODUCTS
5.1 Advice is given in Table NA.1 of the National Annex
to BS EN 12767:2019 on the appropriate class of
passively safe products for lighting columns, signposts
and non-harmful support structures. (See Appendix A)
A table giving the recommendations is included. When
selecting products from the table the following points
are relevant:
a) Not all product classifications are available. The
current list of Available Products is contained in
Appendix B. A continually updated list of available
passively safe products and their classifications is
available at: http://www.passivesafetyuk.com
b) All passively safe products tested to EN 12767 will be
much safer in any impact at any speed than traditional
steel or concrete posts. The decision to use an EN 12767
tested product is far more important than the class
selected to EN 12767
c) HE products are preferred in urban situations because
they offer a measure of increased safety for pedestrians.
Typically lighting columns can be HE but HE signposts
and signal posts are now available. Because HE products
significantly retard or stop a light vehicle in an impact
and the posts do not break away they marginally
increase safety for pedestrians and other NMU’s (non-
motorised users) in any secondary accident after the
initial collision. Vehicle occupants are also safeguarded
from the vehicle carrying on at speed into such a
secondary impact. HE lighting columns however will
make a very uncertain safety fence for increasing
pedestrian safety and they will not significantly slow a
large commercial vehicle. In practice there are few if any
reported secondary accidents after a primary collision
with a passively safe item of street furniture and NE
signposts have been widely used across Norway in urban
situations for more than twenty years without many
reported injuries in primary or secondary accidents. As
a result the use of NE products in urban situations is also
considered to be beneficial, when compared with
traditional street furniture.
d) Traditional slip-based products are not recommended
as they have some history of the breakaway connection
locking up and failing to release in use
e) NE A ‘non harmful support structures’ are
exceptionally safe in any impact.
f) All occupant safety levels (levels A to E) in BS EN
12767 are acceptable.
g) Roof deformation is measured in BS EN 12767 testing.
Products with a test roof deformation in testing
exceeding 102 mm are not recommended in the UK.
CHAPTER 6: SPECIFYING PASSIVELY
SAFE SIGNPOSTS TO BS EN 12899
6.1 Highway signposts need to meet the requirements
of: BS EN 12899-1 Fixed, vertical road traffic signs. Fixed
signs. This document also introduces CE marking for
signposts to demonstrate compliance with BS EN 12899
and where passive safety is required with EN 12767.
UKCA marking of highway signposts will also become a
UK requirement. A list of available passively safe
signposts and their classifications can be found at:
http://www.passivesafetyuk.com It is important to
choose the right product type for differing
circumstances. In cases such as embankments and
cuttings it will be necessary for the right product to be
chosen and installed so that it will perform even where
the ground is not level. E.g. If used on embankments the
vehicle may hit the post at height and it may therefore
not perform as tested.
The National Annex to EN 12899 advises on designing
for UK wind loads. More comprehensive advice on
designing signs and foundations for wind loading is given
in the Sign Structures Guide 2021 published on the web
by the Institute of Highway Engineers. Passively safe
signposts tested to EN 12767 are available in steel, fibre
glass composite, carbon fibre composite, and
aluminium. Passively safe signposts can have moments
of resistance of up to 150 KN m and can carry all but the
very largest motorway signs.
SITING PASSIVELY SAFE SIGNPOSTS
6.2 Passively NE safe signposts will be considerably safer
than non-passively safe signposts for all locations but
because most types of passively safe signposts break
away on impact care should be taken at locations where
such posts could be displaced into a different or
oncoming carriageway. These sensitive locations
include: • central reserves, • nosings • central islands on
the main carriageway. For smaller signs steel posts of
less than 89 mm diameter and 3.2 mm wall thickness
are passively safe and do not break away but flatten
under the vehicle and are recommended for these
locations. Again, some composite signposts do not
breakaway because the longitudinal fibre reinforcement
remains intact and these posts are again suitable for
these locations. Where breakaway signposts are needed
they should be carefully sited to reduce the chance of
carrying into an oncoming carriageway in an impact.
Where breakaway passively safe signposts are used they
should deform or degrade at point of impact and not
bounce off the vehicle as demonstrated by very limited
carry in the high speed EN 12767 crash test.
6.3 National Highways advises that signposts sited in the
working width behind any restraint system/crash barrier
should be passively safe rather than traditional,
however, it should be demonstrated that the
sign/signal posts demonstrate the same collapse
mechanism(s) as that witnessed in the BS EN 12767
testing if impacted in the proposed installation location
and that the arrangement does not present a risk of a
secondary incident.
We can now advise that, in a recent EN 1317 crash test
of this combination of tensioned corrugated beam and
a passive sign post, one product, the Hi Mast 1000 NE
rated passive signpost supplied by Varley & Gulliver
(part of the VRS Solutions Group) performed well.
The impact on the Hi-Mast passive post differed to the
EN12767 tested article, given the initial interaction with
the Tension Corrugated Beam (TCB) system. However,
the Hi-Mast passive post still performed and yielded.
Other than some minimal potential localised stiffening,
the Hi-Mast passive post did not have a significant effect
on the general performance of the TCB system. The final
resting position of the Hi-Mast passive post did not
protrude from the original traffic face of the TCB system.
It is therefore accepted that to use a Hi Mast 1000
signposts within the working width of tensioned
corrugated beam will not significantly affect the TCB
performance and that these two products can be used in
combination.
Whilst this may also be the case for other NE rated sign
posts, it is important that you to choose and install the
product you consider will perform to give the least
likelihood of injury to vehicle occupants.
6.4 Where possible signs should preferably have a
minimum clearance to the edge of the hard carriageway
of 1.2 metres to reduce the chance of a sign impact and
subsequent replacement costs. Signs should never be
closer to the carriageway than the limits given in the
Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 1
6.5 See para 3.8 for rules on steel posts deemed to
comply with EN 12767
CHAPTER 7: SPECIFYING PASSIVELY
SAFE LIGHT COLUMNS TO BS EN 40
7.1 All lighting columns need to meet the requirements
of BS EN 40. BS EN 40 has 7 parts and covers the
requirements for lighting columns in steel, aluminium,
polymer composites and concrete and also covers load
testing and strength from calculation, dimensions and
most importantly the requirements for CE marking.
7.2 Lighting columns must now be CE marked to EN 40
and the CE marking or documentation should identify
the passive safety class to EN 12767 where passive
safety is required.
7.3 Passively safe lighting columns are now all CE
approved to EN 40. A list of current passively safe
lighting columns is given at:
http://www.passivesafetyuk.com
7.4 There are passively safe lighting columns available in
steel, aluminium and fibre reinforced composite
construction.
7.5 Any lighting column located in the working width of
a restraint system should be passively safe rather than
traditional. However, we have no evidence to suggest
that passive products will perform as tested in these
situations and each product may perform differently. It
is therefore important to choose and install the product
you consider will perform to give the least likelihood of
injury to vehicle occupants. Lighting columns can be of
NE, LE and HE types and have typically been tested at
100 kph (and the mandatory 35 kph) but one
manufacturer’s range has been tested at both 100 kph
and 70 kph with a NE rating at 100 kph and an LE rating
at 70 kph. A column tested at 70 kph and not at 100 kph
should be restricted to speed limits of 40 mph or lower.
7.6 To aid specification of lighting columns to EN 40 and
avoid the need to carry out the wind loading and design
strength calculations for every specific location BSI
committee have published guidance on this.
CHAPTER 8: SPECIFYING PASSIVELY
SAFE SIGNAL POLES
8.1 Most traffic signals are mounted on mild steel poles
of 114 mm diameter and up to 4.0 mm wall thickness.
These posts are frequently hit by vehicles and anecdotal
evidence suggests few if any people are seriously injured
or killed in these collisions. However, it is unlikely that
these poles would achieve an EN 12767 crash testing
classification if tested.
8.2 National Highways advises that signposts sited in the
working width behind any restraint system/crash barrier
should be passively safe rather than traditional,
however, it should be demonstrated that the
sign/signal posts demonstrate the same collapse
mechanism(s) as that witnessed in the BS EN 12767
testing if impacted in the proposed installation location
and that the arrangement does not present a risk of a
secondary incident.
8.3 It is very advantageous for traffic light poles to be
easily replaced as they are regularly hit by vehicles.
Specialist foundation socket arrangements are
advantageous in this respect and provide for the
necessary power supplies.
8.4 Suitable passively safe traffic light poles meeting EN
12767 requirements are listed at:
http://www.passivesafetyuk.com
CHAPTER 9: SPECIFYING POWER
SUPPLIES AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY
FOR PASSIVELY SAFE STREET
FURNITURE
9.1 Electrical safety requirements are a specialist area
and only general advice on electrical isolation and the
systems available is included here. The Passive Safety
Electrical Guide 2021 published on the web by the IHE
provides guidance about the implications posed for the
electrical designs of roadside Intelligent Transport
Systems (ITS) deployments, by the use of passively safe
structures used to mount equipment on.
9.2 Lighting columns, traffic lights, illuminated signs and
VMS signs all need power supplies. These power
supplies are usually the mains voltage of 240 volts.
Because passively safe products typically yield or shear
in an impact there will always be concern that
apparatus, posts or cables become live after an impact
and put the public or emergency services at risk
following an impact.

9.3 Cabling systems must not interfere with the passive

safety failure mode in an impact. Heavy armoured
cables must not tether or interfere with the clean break
away of a signpost or lighting column. Pull out plugs are
often provided to prevent tethering and to provide
electrical isolation in an impact where posts shear in an
impact.

9.4 Some manufacturers provide isolation plug/socket

connections for posts which electrically isolate when a
post shears relative to its base plate on impact.

9.5 To provide electrical isolation in an impact special

electrical solutions have evolved. These include
electrical tilt switches, impact sensors and residual
current devices. They typically isolate the supply away
from the post or lighting column. Suppliers can be found
on the current list of available passive safety products
at: http://www.passivesafetyuk.com

9.6 Where LED traffic lights and LED illuminated signs

operate at ELV (extra low voltage) of 50 volts or below it
is questionable whether electrical isolation devices are
required although such devices can be used to isolate
individual signals for maintenance. There still may be a
small residual risk of a spark setting fire to an impacted
vehicle with a damaged tank or fuel line. Cables may still
need to pull away in any impact to prevent tethering.

9.7 Increasing use is being made of wind turbines and

solar panels to power ELV items mounted on passive
safety posts assemblies. A recent demonstration of a
collision with this type of combination of products
showed that the use of these products did not appear to
affect the performance of the passive post and can
safely be used provided that the post can support the
combined weight of the items.

9.8 The demonstration involved an aluminium NE rated

sign/signal post provided by Hydro (Pole Products), a
300mm VAS and solar enclosure, a 34 hour lead acid
battery, and post top mounting all supplied by
Westcotec Ltd. A 110W Monocrystalline solar panel and
LE-300 wind turbine were used and these were supplied
by Leading Edge Power trading as Leading Edge Turbines
Ltd.

*OREDO'HVLJQ7HFKQRORJ\ GDTech is an engineering office of ~200 people specialized in simulation/optimization of roadside safety equipment (safety
barriers, crash cushions and safe poles) to comply with European EN1317, EN12767, TS16786 as well as American
 NCHRP350/MASH or similar standards.

 Simulations can be used during the design phase of a new product as well as for getting a direct certification of a modified
version of a tested product (without the need to perform new crash tests).
 Simulations can also help to adapt the product to particular site conditions (curves, the forces transmitted to the bridge decks,
and influence of the motorcyclist protection for the vehicles).
 GDTech is working for manufacturers of roadside safety equipment as well as resellers, installation companies or road
authorities.

GDTech is proud to have highly satisfied customers around the world for developing and/or obtaining certifications according
 to EU, US or other standards. On top, through GDTech’s guidance and consulting, GDTech’s customers were able to optimize
the cost of the developed products and to increase the performance of the products which will give them a definite edge
over the competitors in the market.

Our brochure:
 

 Glasdon are leading designers and manufacturers of road safety equipment used extensively throughout the UK on Local
Authority Highways, Local Authority Street Lighting and trunk road schemes. Glasdon have over 60 years’ experience
working directly with highways professionals and the core of their business is to provide innovative long-lasting, quality
*ODVGRQ8./WG products to meet their customers’ needs.

 The Glasdon range includes traffic calming and hazard marking bollards, cycle route bollards, retroreflective self-righting
bollards, LED traffic bollards, LED sign lights, Gateways, chevron systems and verge marker posts. When independently
 tested to BSEN 12767:2019 most products meet the highest performance standard NE4/100.

 For road and traffic bollards where illumination remains a statutory requirement, we offer a number of lighting options.
Our LED technology reduces energy consumption, minimises running costs and carbon footprint. The LEDs have a
 minimum life span of 50,000 hours, equating to approximately 10 years when operated with the built-in Photocell or
with a CMS device. Also included in the range is the smart ‘zero energy’ Solar Signmaster™ Bollard which offers increased
visibility at night without direct mains electricity.

Glasdon products are manufactured from a range of higher performance materials and undergo stringent checks to
 ensure durability and best value. Glasdon has ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 accreditation, underlining their
commitment to quality.
