A street pole (1) extending substantially along a longitudinal direction (8) and comprising a hollow cylindrical body (6) extending around the longitudinal direction (8) along a circumferential direction (9), the hollow cylindrical body (6) comprising at least one overlap (2) of a first (3) and a second edge (4) of a circumferential side wall (7) forming the hollow cylindrical body (6), the hollow cylindrical body (6) comprising fastening means (5) for interconnecting the first and the second edge (3, 4), the overlap (2) having a length (10) extending substantially parallel along the longitudinal direction (8), wherein the overlap (2) has a width (11) extending substantially along the circumferential direction (9),

• wherein the side wall (7) and the fastening means (5) are provided to split open along the overlap (2) by breaking away the fastening means (5) upon impact at a place of impact (15) on the street pole (1), the hollow cylindrical body (6), being provided at the place of impact (15),
• wherein the fastening means (5) are elements extending through the overlap to interconnect the first and the second edges to each other,
• wherein the impact is caused by a vehicle in an accident,
• wherein the hollow cylindrical body (6) has a round cross-section,
• wherein the street pole (1) is provided with one or more lights, street signs, traffic signs, traffic lights, directions, or billboards,
• wherein the side wall (7) is a single piece.
