It is possible to avoid certain types of traffic accidents or at least significantly reduce the damage caused by such accidents. An important example is the minimized damage to both vehicles and their occupants, particularly motorcyclists resulting from a collision with traffic signs positioned on the roadside.

It is possible to avoid certain types of traffic accidents or at least significantly reduce the damage caused by such accidents. An important example is the minimized damage to both vehicles and their occupants, particularly motorcyclists resulting from a collision with traffic signs positioned on the roadside.
The innovative Carepol system replaces standard metal traffic signposts with polymer posts involving the use of a connection between the post and the base which releases like a 'mechanical fuse' in the event of impact, thereby minimizing the damage caused.
sustainability
The manufacture of conventional metal signs requires more energy consumption than the process of refining crude oil and generates significant soil, air, and water pollution.
Also, with Carepol System, the reuse of pre-existing foundations reduces waste generation, optimizes energy consumption for the creation of new signs, and reduces the environmental impact.
Carepol is firmly committed to environmental protection as it is made using biodegradable materials.
savings
The use of plastic materials to manufacture these signs results in significant savings in terms of manufacturing costs due to its reduced melting point compared to metal materials.
Carepol results in reduced transport and handling costs due to its lower density and reduces replacement costs due to its system of reusing previously existing civil works.
connections
There are two means of connecting the sign to the post, using a revolutionary assembly system consisting of a 3 mm die-cast galvanized steel strip that considerably reduces installation times.
Breakage tests performed in ENAC laboratories.
singpost
Extruded PVC posts with 30% fiberglass designed with a structure that complies with the required bending criteria and coated with a 2 mm UV-resistant protective film.
Compliance with EN-UNE 12.899 -1 and UNE 35.311 standards. Wind load category WL1 WL2.
CAREPOL offers its signposts in a varied range of colors adaptable to the different environments where they will be placed: Urban areas, natural reserves, highways, coastal roads, etc.
EXPANSIVE CONNECTION MODULE
Connection between the base and the post which acts like a 'mechanical fuse' in the event of impact. It is made using highly resistant polyarnide reinforced with fiberglass and compatible with both Carepol posts and conventional steel and aluminum posts. Breakage tests performed in ENAC laboratories.
Adaptability/flexibility
Carepol System is a versatile product adaptable to both market and/or customer needs and land locations where its use is going to be intended. The various elements that integrate Carepol System can be combined according to different needs and situations, although the latter car be summarized in two main cases:
WITH pre-existing signpost
+FUSE BASE
+METAL POST
Installs the fuse base of Carepol System by reusing previous existing foundation and metal signpost.
+FUSE BASE
+POLYMER POST
Installs the polymer post and the fuse base of Carepol System by reusing previous existing foundation.
WITHout PRE-EXISTING SIGNPOST
+ POLYMER POST
Installs the polymer post of Carepol System by using traditional foundation.
+FUSE BASE
+POLYMER POST
Installs the polymer post and the fuse base of Carepol System by using traditional foundation.
