English term or phrase: height gauge supports
Typical Rural Hazard Situations
The situations illustrated in Figures 3.10 and 3.11 are very much everyday physical feature hazards that exist on all rural roads. The principle purpose of the signing is to increase the conspicuity of the hazard to drivers. The signs used are therefore hazard marker warning signs which include:
DANGER PLATES
SHARP CURVE CHEVRON signs
GUARDRAIL DELINEATOR

Physical features which should be marked by such signs are:

bridge abutments and piers on underpasses;
bridge parapets on overpasses;
culvert headwalls and culvert positions;
guardrail sections;
sign gantry columns;
height gauge supports at railway crossings;
any other feature such as trees which are within the safety run-off area at the side of the road
