On our way to our destination, we sometimes get stuck in a traffic jam due to road works, an accident or a special event. Signs inform us early enough so we have time to process the information and let us know what to do, like use another route. These signs are essential to ensure the safety of road users. What is traffic control and why is it so important?
Effective traffic control is essential to manage the many variables that come into play while driving on the road. Is your worksite safe for vehicles, workers and pedestrians?
If your construction or maintenance work, or special event suspends or interrupts the normal traffic, you need a traffic control plan to ensure the safety of all road users, and the protection of workers.
Traffic control plans, good communication and skilled traffic controllers are the key to effective traffic control.
