At Barricade Traffic Services, we specialize in crafting detailed, site-specific Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) that ensure safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance for all types of projects. From urban roadways to rural highways, our TMPs are designed to address unique site challenges while minimizing disruption to traffic and nearby communities. As a leader among all traffic control companies in Ontario, we bring expertise, technology, and dedication to every project we undertake.

Traffic management planning requires precision and foresight. At Barricade Traffic Services, our management and drafting process is designed to create comprehensive, actionable TMPs that meet the highest industry standards.

Planning for Success

Every TMP begins with a thorough analysis of the project requirements, traffic patterns, and site conditions. Our experts consult with contractors, project managers, and municipal authorities to ensure the plan aligns with project timelines and objectives.

• Environmental Considerations: Weather, terrain, and seasonal factors are all taken into account to ensure the plan remains viable under varying conditions.
• Regulatory Expertise: Our team stays updated on local, provincial, and federal traffic regulations, ensuring all plans are compliant with the MTO Book 7 and other relevant guidelines.

Advanced Drafting Tools

Our TMPs are drafted using industry-leading software,

• Comprehensive Visuals: Detailed plans show lane closures, detours, signage placements, pedestrian pathways, and buffer zones.
• Revisions and Flexibility: Plans are designed to accommodate updates and changes, ensuring they remain effective throughout the project lifecycle.

Commitment to Safety

Safety is at the heart of everything we do.

• Accident Prevention: Our TMPs are designed to reduce risks for drivers, pedestrians, and workers by ensuring clear communication and effective traffic flow management.
• Worker Protection: Plans include protective measures for construction crews, such as barriers, high-visibility gear, and buffer zones.

Our Traffic Management Plans place a strong emphasis on protecting vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit users.

Pedestrian Safety

• Dedicated Pathways: We design clear, accessible pedestrian pathways that avoid construction zones and minimize risk.
• Enhanced Visibility: High-visibility signage and lighting ensure pedestrians can easily navigate through or around work zones.
• Signalized Crossings: Temporary pedestrian signals or crossing guards are often incorporated to guide foot traffic safely.

Cyclist Accommodation

• Protected Detours: Dedicated cycling detours with barriers ensure cyclists can travel safely without entering vehicle lanes.
• Clear Signage: Well-marked routes help cyclists navigate detours efficiently.

Public Transit Users

• Transit Access: Our plans prioritize unimpeded access to bus stops, train stations, and other transit points.
• Temporary Boarding Areas: Safe, well-marked boarding areas are established when transit stops are affected.

Managing traffic flow effectively is essential for the success of any project. Our TMPs include detailed traffic movement systems to minimize disruptions and ensure safety.

Lane Closure Plans: Strategically planned closures with clear signage and buffer zones maintain traffic flow while ensuring worker safety.

Detour Systems: Well-designed detours provide clear guidance for drivers, minimizing confusion and delays.

Emergency Routes: Dedicated routes ensure that emergency vehicles have unimpeded access to and through the work zone.

Digital Messaging Systems: Variable message boards keep drivers informed about road conditions and detours.

Community Communication: We provide clear, timely updates to the public, minimizing frustration and confusion.

Environmental Considerations: Plans account for weather, terrain, and other environmental factors that may impact safety.

Worker Safety: Protective measures ensure construction crews can work without fear of accidents.
