Tested and Trusted on Major Infrastructure
Innovative Solution to Cairns Road Safety Issue
Cairns Regional Council needed a simple way to warn motorists of an open drain on Brown Street, where cars were parking and turning too close to the edge.
The team chose Delnorth Guide Posts with a surface-mount base to mark the hazard and create a clear roadside boundary. These road edge guide posts are reflective, visible and flexible to withstand accidental impacts, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
Delnorth helped the Council with the right product for the job to keep the drain safe and installation quick for the drainage crew.
See how the Guide Posts performed on site and why they were chosen for this location. For a heavy-traffic example, see how Delnorth guide posts performed on the Capricorn Highway in Rockhampton.
