"We have been using the V-Loc permanent mount anchoring sockets with our sign posts for over 15 years. The V-Loc with the wedge saves us time and money every time we set or replace one of our 2-3/8" round sign posts. In a standard installation if it is hit we can probably reset post in 20 minutes versus 30+ minutes for our old 4x4 wood post sign system. We like that the V-Loc system is flush to the ground for greater safety and that they are NCHRP350 crashworthy."

"I have been using the V-Loc mounting system for single and multiple mailboxes for 6 years now, ever since finding out that they are NCHRP350 approved on the roadways. These mailbox support systems save me time in both initial set up and after they have been knocked down. On average the V-Loc system takes about half the time versus wood posts. The V-Loc installation is simple, looks clean, and is quick to use. "

"We have been using the V-Loc breakaway socket system since before I took over eight years ago. We use the 2-3/8" round posts for hanging our signs and the real savings is when you set a post in a V-loc in concrete versus just a post in concrete. With a V-Loc the post can be replaced within minutes, without it can take over 2 hours to chip out and re-pour concrete. They are also NCHRP350 approved which is important."

"We put in an adapter plate in for South Lyon in about an hour in under less than ideal conditions. Leo helped with setting the post up so all we had to do is drive the new V-Loc anchor for a ped post with a jack hammer and stand up the pre-assembled post. Now anybody can put in their own cross walk signal with out power and no cement/anchor bolts. Tell your signal customers about the V-Loc for existing high hit locations and no hassle, no cement new installation; though it can be cemented in existing sidewalks or where it cannot be driven. And of course it is crash tested and NCHRP 350 approved."

"We have been a user of the V-Loc system for channel and round posts since 2004. We have used the 2 3/8" round post model to combine our stop and street name signs to the same post. We have also used the round post model in high wind areas wtlere a channel post was not standing up well. The V-Lac kits for U-Channel posts we use primarily in asphalt, high traffic areas that require quick replacement. We also use them in our concrete sidewalks when required. The V-Lac system for us has been the answer for quick replacement of sign posts after the V-Lac system has been installed."

Breakaway devices are designed and constructed to break or yield when struck by a vehicle. The term "breakaway" refers to crash-tested devices that break or bend upon impact. Ground-mounted sign supports shall (emphasis added) be breakaway, yielding, or shielded with a longitudinal barrier or crash cushion if within the clear zone. For roads with posted speed limits of 50 mph or higher, the 2003 edition of the MUTCD established a compliance target date of January 18, 2013.
