Statistics show serious injuries and deaths are occurring each year from collisions with non-passive sign post supports. In 2004 the UK Highways Agency introduced TA89/04 Use of Passively Safe Supports for Signs to allow an alternative to the traditional structural steel poles and protective safety barrier. TA89/05 also introduced a size limit for steel sign supports of 89mm dia. with a wall thickness of 3.2mm thick to set a size limit that could be placed on the highway without the protection of barrier unless passively safe.
