Traffic Control

Effective traffic control is essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of roadways during construction, maintenance, or special events. It involves the strategic planning and implementation of measures to direct vehicles and pedestrians safely around work zones. Safety Signs invests heavily in advancing technology in the industry while we experiment with current devices and slight alterations to track items, remotely control boards, and more.

TPAR Temporary Pedestrian Access Routes
APR Alternative Pedestrian Routes

Properly designed pedestrian detours ensure that people can navigate safely around work zones avoiding vehicular traffic and any unnecessary risk. Our team plans and implements clear and accessible detour routes, complete with signage and barriers, to guide pedestrians safely and efficiently. We prioritize accessibility and compliance with local regulations to ensure a smooth and safe passage for all pedestrians.

Accommodating Pedestrians in Work Zones

Temporary Pedestrian Access Route (TPAR)

A TPAR is a temporary pedestrian route that is fully accessible and meets the standards and principles of Pedestrian Right-Of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). TPAR devices are pedestrian elements (such as temporary curb ramps, pedestrian channelizers, sidewalk barricades, etc.) that meet the parameters defined in PROWAG.

Alternate Pedestrian Routes (APR)

An APR is a temporary pedestrian facility created to replace a pedestrian facility impacted by a work zone. The APR must contain accessibility features consistent with the features present in the impacted pedestrian facility.
