Cantilever traffic poles are specially designed galvanized steel poles that extend horizontally to support traffic lights, road signage, and surveillance systems at highways, metro projects, and intersections. At LightPole India, we manufacture strong, corrosion-resistant, customizable cantilever traffic poles engineered for durability, safety, and smart city compliance.
Cantilever Traffic Poles
Urban India is rapidly transforming with smart city projects, expressways, and metro corridors. Managing traffic efficiently has become a priority, and cantilever traffic poles play a crucial role in enhancing road safety.
Unlike conventional vertical poles, cantilever poles extend horizontally, providing wider visibility for signals and signage without obstructing the roadway. These poles are a preferred choice for highways, busy intersections, and surveillance installations.
At LightPole India, we specialize in custom-engineered cantilever poles built from high-strength galvanized steel that are resistant to corrosion, weather, and heavy load stress.
Why Cantilever Poles are Essential for Modern Traffic Systems
- Increased traffic density: With India’s booming population, cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore require advanced traffic management solutions.
- Improved safety: Cantilever poles extend signals across multiple lanes, ensuring visibility for all drivers.
- Smart city integration: They can host traffic lights, CCTV cameras, and IoT-based monitoring systems.
- Durability: Engineered to withstand heavy winds, rain, and urban wear and tear.
Cantilever poles are no longer optional—they are a necessity for modern Indian infrastructure.
