Abstract

A traffic ballast system has a base of a non-rigid, resilient, shock absorbing material, the base providing a top surface and a spaced apart bottom surface. At least one strut aperture extends through the top surface. A receiver plate of a rigid structural material is engaged with the base below the top surface. At least one vertical strut supporting at least one sign has a lower end engaged within the at least one strut aperture, and further rigidly engaged with the receiver plate.

Description

FIELD OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE [0001] This disclosure relates generally to road signs and more particularly to a traffic sign system with interchangeable elements able to be adapted to various configurations.
