Fixed, vertical road traffic signs - Part 2: Transilluminated traffic bollards (TTB)

This Part 2 of EN 12899 specifies requirements for new transilluminated traffic bollards (TTBs) including their fixing, which may incorporate traffic signs (type 1 TTB) or may support traffic signs (type 2 TTB) to be used in traffic circulation areas.
It covers performance requirements and test methods.
Colorimetric and retroreflective properties as well as luminance of transilluminated illuminated portions are specified taking into account CIE recommendations.
Structural requirements for TTBs include performance under static and dynamic loading.
Provision is made for safety in use, including vehicle impact.
Devices of similar function, but without transillumination or less than 600 mm in height, are not covered.
NOTE   Foundations are not specified in this standard but should be adequate to support the loads to be carried.
Unless otherwise stated, clauses in this standard apply to both type 1 and type 2 TTBs.

Ortsfeste, vertikale Straßenverkehrszeichen - Teil 2: Innenbeleuchtete Verkehrsleitsäulen (TTB)

Dieser Teil 2 von EN 12899 legt die Anforderungen an neue innenbeleuchtete Verkehrsleitsäulen (TTBs, en: Transilluminated Traffic Bollards), die Verkehrszeichen entweder enthalten (TTBs vom Typ 1) oder tragen (TTBs vom Typ 2) können, einschließlich deren Befestigung fest.
Sie umfasst die Leistungsanforderungen und Prüfverfahren.
Farbmetrische und retroreflektierende Eigenschaften sowie z. B. die Leuchtdichte der innenbeleuchteten Teile, sind unter Berücksichtigung der CIE-Empfehlungen festgelegt.
Konstruktionsanforderungen an TTBs enthalten die Gebrauchstauglichkeit bei statischer und dynamischer Belastung.
Vorschriften bezüglich der Nutzungsicherheit, einschließlich des Anpralls eines Fahrzeuges, sind angegeben.
Einrichtungen mit gleichartiger Funktion, jedoch ohne Innenbeleuchtung oder unter 600 mm Höhe, sind nicht Gegenstand dieser Norm.
ANMERKUNG   In dieser Norm sind keine Fundamente festgelegt; diese sollten jedoch geeignet sein, die zu tragenden Lasten aufzunehmen.
Soweit nicht anders angegeben, gelten die in dieser Norm enthaltenen Abschnitte sowohl für TTBs vom Typ 1 als auch für TTBs vom Typ 2.
