OBS

(Sous toutes réserves) Proposition de traduction fondée sur le fait que le terme anglais «break away» signifie que ce sont les panneaux routiers qui vont «écoper» en cas de collision (qui vont se détériorer en absorbant le choc), et non les passagers de la voiture. On pourrait aussi parler tout simplement de signaux sécuritaires.
