The KalifixTM Breakaway Post System
KalifixTM is a coupling system made to break away in a specific place if a vehicle comes into contact with a roadside post. This is a smart, low-cost and sustainable solution designed specifically to make the road safer for motorists and other users.
Description
- The KalifixTM system comprises three parts:
- A steel anchoring device
- A steel post
- An aluminum breakaway pin connecting the post to the anchoring device.
- The pin is designed to give way in the event a vehicle runs into the post. Upkeep can be done using basic tools, and the structure complies with all road and safety standards.
- The only post of its kind that is manufactured in Canada and to be given an L6X rating by the Quebec transportation ministry, applicable to breakaway posts.
- Maintenance is a breeze, even in the winter season. Can be temporarily straightened until spring, thus avoiding the need for temporary replacement signage.
- 300,000 Kalifix equipped posts (and counting!) currently protecting road users in three different countries.

Complementary information
KalifixTM technology made its market debut in 1996 after 10 years of in-depth research and development, in collaboration with several municipal administrations and regional authorities. The goal was to come up with a long-lasting, affordable product that met users’ needs and was respectful of the environment. Since then, we have been constantly making improvements to maximize quality and performance.
