Maybe the ad blocker is interfering.

He hired a former college kicker or someone like that to coach him. Dude nailed the filed goal. The minute it came off his foot you could tell it was going to be good. He was celebrating before it went through the uprights. It was really cool because a lot of the players mugged him in congratulations.

IIRC, road signs are designed to be frangible, i.e. break easily, to minimize damage to the occupants of the car hitting the sign. Not sure how that translates to signs suspended well above traffic.

signs on the roadside, yes... those need to be break-away. But supports for the trusses that cross the entire highway, we are required to place guardrail around them.
