1. A support device configured to be installed on public roads, comprising at least one post for catenary support and/or public lighting support, and/or urban signalling support, and/or urban billboard support, said post being designed to be bound to the ground via a base so as to extend substantially vertically, characterized in that said post has, over at least a substantial portion of its length, a cross-section having itself at least a first and a second branch that are solid and that form a first salient angle, and in that the support device further comprises at least:
a first intermediate element, which is distinct from said post and configured to be secured to the post on a side of said first salient angle, and
a first element for covering said post, which is distinct from said first intermediate element and said post, and configured to be added between said first and second branches, on the side of the first salient angle,
said first intermediate element and covering element being provided with a first and a second attachment element, respectively, complementary to each other, in order to secure said first covering element to said post, the first and second attachment elements being arranged so that said first covering element, when secured to said post, substantially conceals said first intermediate element, said first and second attachment elements having a first set of teeth and a second set of teeth, respectively, said first and second sets of teeth being arranged so that said first intermediate element and covering element can move between:
an interpenetration position, in which the respective teeth of each of the two sets of teeth are matched with respective spaces separating the respective teeth of the other of the two sets of teeth, and
a mechanical interlocking position, in which the respective teeth of each of the two sets of teeth are matched with the respective teeth of the other of the two sets of teeth (24, 25) to secure said first covering element to said post.
