Transportation Applications
Safer. Smarter. Easier to Deploy.
EasyStreet Systems’ composite smart poles are changing the game for transportation infrastructure. Approved for use in highway clear zones by the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT), our direct-bury composite poles deliver a breakthrough alternative to traditional break-away systems—without compromising safety or increasing cost.

Designed for DOT Clear Zones
Most Departments of Transportation require break-away functionality for poles installed in clear zones to ensure occupant safety in the event of a collision.
Unlike rigid steel, EasyStreet’s composite poles are designed with materials engineered to gradually crumple or buckle on impact. This controlled deformation absorbs energy and reduces crash severity, offering a safer outcome for drivers.
Key Benefits for DOTs and Contractors:
- DOT-Approved for Clear Zones
Approved by the ALDOT Product Evaluation Board for direct-bury installation without a break-away base. - Cost Savings of $8,000–$10,000 per Site
Eliminate heavy equipment and expensive concrete foundations. Reduce labor, logistics, and permitting complexity. - Simplified Installation
No flange mounting, no anchor bolts—just a direct-bury pole designed to go in faster and last longer. - Increased Load Capacity
Carry more equipment than traditional break-away options while still meeting DOT safety standards. - Durable and Corrosion-Resistant
Engineered with non-metallic composite materials to withstand harsh conditions and reduce maintenance over time.
