Blog Safeguarding Road Construction: Proven Traffic Control Techniques by Haug Highway Services Oct 02, 2024

Road construction projects are an inevitable part of infrastructure development. While these projects are essential for improving transportation networks, they can also cause disruptions and safety hazards for motorists and construction workers alike. That's where traffic control contractors like Haug Highway Services come in, providing proven traffic control techniques to safeguard road construction sites and ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Haug Highway Services has years of experience in the traffic control industry, working on a wide range of road construction projects. Through this experience, we have refined our traffic control techniques to meet the highest safety standards and ensure that both motorists and construction workers can navigate construction zones with minimal risk.

One of the key traffic control techniques that Haug Highway Services employs is the use of signage and barricades. Clear and visible signage is essential for alerting motorists to upcoming construction zones, lane closures, detours, and other potential hazards. By strategically placing signage and barricades along the roadway, our team helps to guide traffic safely through construction areas and reduce the risk of accidents.

In addition to signage and barricades, Haug Highway Services also utilizes flagging crews to direct traffic in real-time. Flaggers are trained professionals who are responsible for controlling the flow of traffic through construction zones using hand signals, flags, and other communication tools. By coordinating with construction crews and motorists, flaggers help to maintain order and safety on the road.

Another important traffic control technique that Haug Highway Services employs is the use of temporary traffic signals. In some cases, temporary traffic signals may be necessary to regulate traffic flow through complex construction zones or intersections. Our team carefully designs and installs these signals to ensure that traffic moves efficiently and safely through the construction area.

In addition to these techniques, Haug Highway Services also focuses on proper work zone layout and planning. Before any road construction project begins, our team conducts a thorough assessment of the site to determine the best traffic control strategies. By carefully planning work zone layouts, traffic flow patterns, and safety measures, we can ensure that construction proceeds smoothly and safely.
