UPDATE: the new aluminum pole is gone and a pylon caps the base.
The same neighbour pole installed with this one remains, and is hella glary with 400WHPS FCO mounted super low.

Geeze they might as well put up wood poles. Would be way cheaper.

They should put up non-breakaway steel poles at this point. If a drunk driver hits it, well that's just natural selection.

Agreed. If you hit it hard enough though the impact will destroy the foundation since the pole is stronger than it.

Apparently the pylons were hit again here. Even the pylons can't stay standing here!

UPDATE: today the concrete base was removed and a new one poured

UPDATE: a shortish octagonal steel pole was installed a few inches above the concrete with a GE M400R3 FCO AND an OVX

Haha a GE fixture is surprising to me. OVX not so much, your gonna need to get a photo of this new pole and lights before it comes down again

UPDATE: Destroyed.
This pole personally affected me stuck in traffic for a half hour en route home. Saw the aftermath of a car hit: arms are on the ground but the octagonal steel pole served its purpose by staying up instead of being broken away into oncoming traffic, but severely tilted along with the new poured base, unusual to see around here. I now see no point of pouring a base when it needs a new pour every hit, might as well go back to a heavy duty concrete bury pole.

I still think a non breakaway steel pole is the best solution.

Maybe its time for speed bumps?

If they simply put a guardrail down both sides of the median the problem would be solved. And the concrete foundation would have been fine if a breakaway base were used. Steel poles are too strong to not use a breakaway base. With aluminum it doesn't matter, since the poles shear apart if there's no breakaway base, typically saving the foundation from damage. Aluminum poles are lighter too, so if one does fall it's not going to do as much damage to an innocent car. RIDOT requires aluminum poles on all freeways here for those reasons. They use the breakaway bases when required by the USDOT/FHWA as well.

A guardrail with reflective squares is the only logical thing to really install here. A jersey barrier would probably be overkill though. I have seen an aluminum pole come down with my own eyes before and the pole went into two sections on both sides of the road. It would be cheaper in the longrun to add a guardrail and a steel pole with a breakaway base. It seems the short pole install wasn't of any help either.

I get a bit of anxiety and watch my speed a lot more when driving by this section of road everytime

Yeah I wonder if they're considering adding a guardrail to the median or installing two curb mounted poles instead.

Over here breakaway bases are are rare outside of freeways for some reason.

UPDATE: Today they somehow managed to salvage the base and level it. They installed an aluminum pole of similar height as the steel one. They cockeyed it again, this time AEL 125 FCO + OVX dayburner.
I love the city's new maintenance contractor responsiveness

I wonder what FCO fixtures its going to be this time

Might as well stick LEDs up at this point. That way it won't be too big of a loss when the pole gets bumped.

LOL start getting those $20 eBay LED lights.

That's too high quality, just zip tie some sockets to the arm and use some eBay corn cob lamps.

Could also use foil baking pans as reflectors too.
