How Our Traffic Control Services Work

The purpose of Traffic Control Plans is to provide the necessary guidance for orderly movement of traffic through and around work zones – which minimizes inconvenience to the public while providing safety and accessibility for all road users and workers.

Step 1

Identify Traffic Control Setup

First, we determine what type of traffic control setup is needed; this is typically based upon the size and duration of the construction project.
Our team will define the size and orientation of the work area, and then determine the necessary traffic control setup – i.e. shoulder closures, lane closures, flagging, etc.

Step 2

Street Layout Tracing

Using Google Earth or drone aerial images, we’ll then trace the street layout using AutoCAD software.
Sometimes a site visit may be necessary to gather additional information relevant to the plan.

Step 3

Draft Traffic Control Plan

We’ll add the excavation areas and structures to the plan, along with their predetermined work zones.
Working backward from the work area, we add the appropriate buffer space, tapers, advance warning signs, and additional signage as required by the street’s speed limit concerning local, state, and federal standards.

Step 4

Agency Requirement Review

Agency review; traffic control plans must be submitted to the governing agency having jurisdiction over the project area. We review agency requirements for each location and tailor plans to meet those needs. Our team will submit plans and work with agencies on your behalf so you don’t have to.
Because we are very experienced working with cities, counties and other government agencies such as Caltrans, Railroads, Military and Army Corps of Engineers, ect. You can be assured that we will process your permits as quickly as possible.

Common Projects

Traffic control is typically required in a variety of cases, including potholing, excavation, CCTV and other large construction projects. Managing and controlling the flow of traffic is necessary to avoid potential safety hazards for construction workers, pedestrians, and other vehicles for the duration of the project.
