Our many years of experience allow us to fine-tune our rolling slowdown traffic control services. We apply intelligent control in terms of:
- Safety: Safety is the most important part of every job we tackle. We care about the safety of the general public passing through the jobsite, the construction crews doing their jobs, as well as our own Flagger Force flagmen and other team members. Rolling stop traffic control often brings vehicles down from highway speed to a full stop, which requires ample warning and space in case of inattentive drivers. We include the necessary signage, along with our handheld flags and signs.
- Work Conditions: Construction crews working in rolling slowdown conditions are typically pulling cable, wires or fiber across large highways. They require time and space to do their job properly. When rolling slowdown traffic control is planned properly, we can maximize working efficiency and allow crews to get the traffic going again quickly. We work with construction project managers to determine the frequency and duration of traffic interruptions to accommodate crew and traffic needs.
- Laws and Regulations: Due to a combination of federal and state laws applicable to temporary traffic control on highways, we tailor each rolling slowdown traffic control service to local laws and regulations. Differences between states can include distances for signage, number and position of flagmen and even the size and location of signage. Our Flagger Force team knows the different requirements for the Mid-Atlantic area and make sure to apply the correct solutions depending on your location. Our goal is to provide safe, efficient and law-abiding traffic control at your jobsites, so you can focus on the job itself.
- Quality: We strive to offer high-quality services for rolling slowdown traffic control. Due to the nature of stopping traffic on highways and interstates, any errors in traffic control can cause major disruptions to regular traffic and transports. When traffic flow control isn’t well managed, drivers can become impatient, which can cause accidents. Our crew members, leaders and supervisors are trained to communicate with verbal and non-verbal methods and anticipate evolutions in traffic flow. They’ll maintain close contact with road construction crew members and work to adapt to any situation that might arise.
A rolling slowdown traffic control project presents many unique challenges. At Flagger Force, we employ our years of experience and offer safe solutions that give construction crews adequate time to get the traffic flowing again.
