This Standard specifies requirements for the form, dimensions, material and finish of tubular steel posts and mast arms, and attachments used for the support of traffic signal lanterns, pedestrian push-button assemblies and ancillary equipment.

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee LG-006, Road Traffic Signals, to supersede AS 2339—1997, Traffic signal posts and attachments and AS 2979—1998, Traffic signal mast arms.

The objective of this Standard is to provide road and traffic authorities and their suppliers with requirements for the manufacture, purchase and use of posts, mast arms and attachments to—

(a) ensure that structures will present a reasonably uniform appearance to road users;

(b) provide for rationalization in the range of sizes required and in the functional performance requirements; and

(c) provide for uniformity in the fixings and attachments used.

A number of significant changes have been made to the previous edition of this Standard as follows:

(i) The inclusion of requirements for traffic signal mast arms and joint-use mast arms that were previously in the separate Australian Standard AS 2979.

(ii) The inclusion of requirements for joint-use poles.

(iii) The inclusion of specifications for square cross-section posts.
