Traffic control is the backbone of safe and efficient operations in construction zones, public events, and emergency situations. It involves managing vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic to ensure smooth navigation while protecting workers, the public, and property. At Barricade Traffic Services, we take pride in being the leading traffic control company in Ontario, offering tailored solutions for projects of all sizes.

Our services encompass the complete spectrum of traffic management, adhering to Ontario Traffic Manual (OTM) Book 7 specifications to ensure compliance, safety, and efficiency.

Flagging is crucial for maintaining a controlled and safe flow of traffic in high-risk areas such as construction zones or utility repairs. At Barricade Traffic Services, our flaggers are certified professionals equipped with advanced training in signaling, situational awareness, and emergency response. They serve as the frontline in ensuring driver compliance, reducing accident risks, and protecting workers in potentially hazardous environments. Our flaggers are the first line of defense in preventing accidents and maintaining order, making us the most trusted amongst all traffic control companies in Ontario.

Effective traffic control starts with a robust plan. We provide:

Detailed Traffic Control Plans (TCPs): Designed to address site-specific needs, from lane closures and detours to full road closures.

Plan Adjustments: Continuous evaluation and updates to traffic plans as projects evolve.

We offer an extensive inventory of high-quality traffic control equipment, including:

Crash Attenuators (TMA Protection): Vital for protecting work zones on freeways and high-speed roadways.

Portable Signage: Durable signs designed to handle Ontario’s varied weather conditions.

Digital Message Boards: Dynamic and highly visible for effective communication with drivers.

Barricades and Traffic Safety Cones: Essential for defining safe zones.

Our team handles delivery, setup, and removal, ensuring everything is done according to MTO standards.

For high-speed or high-risk environments, we provide crash protection using Traffic Management Attenuators (TMAs), or crash trucks. These vehicles are strategically positioned to absorb impact, safeguarding workers, equipment, and vehicles in the event of a collision.

Whether you need a single lane closure or a comprehensive detour, Barricade Traffic Services ensures that the disruption to public traffic is minimized while maintaining maximum safety. Our team manages detours for urban and rural settings, including complex freeway operations and smaller municipal projects.

In unexpected situations like road accidents or natural disasters, our rapid-response team is available 24/7 to deploy emergency traffic control setups, restoring order and ensuring public safety in record time.

• Urban Zones: Managing heavy traffic flow in bustling cities to minimize disruption and ensure safety during construction, maintenance, or large events.
• Highways and Freeways: Freeways require specialized traffic control to address high-speed traffic, including lane closures, detours, and crash protection systems.
• Rural and Industrial Areas: Remote areas with limited visibility and industrial zones with heavy machinery operations demand traffic control solutions tailored to their unique challenges.

Construction and Maintenance

Traffic control is essential during road widening, repaving, bridge repairs, or utility work. These setups safeguard workers and the public while ensuring smooth traffic flow.

Public Events

From parades and marathons to festivals and community gatherings, traffic management ensures the safe coexistence of vehicles and pedestrians.

Emergency Situations

Accidents, natural disasters, and other emergencies demand quick and reliable traffic control setups to restore order and facilitate rescue operations.

Film and Television Productions

Film crews often require road closures or restricted zones to shoot safely, making traffic control a crucial component of production logistics.

Large-Scale Infrastructure Projects

Projects like pipelines, railways, or public transit expansions often impact existing traffic patterns, requiring a coordinated traffic management strategy.
