Unless you’re really in the know, MOT probably isn’t a familiar term. It isn’t to most people. But for Roadway Traffic Control, this term symbolizes the gold standard of our service offerings. MOT, or Maintenance of Traffic, is a premier service we offer throughout Southern California. This service, supported by the dozens of experts on our team, protects pedestrians, motorists, and cyclists traveling in or near a work zone. As you might expect, this level of protection demands the very best — top-flight personnel, high-performance devices, and a foundation of meticulous planning. Precisely what Roadway Construction Service has built its phenomenal reputation on.

Why does our MOT performance consistently reach the highest levels in our industry? A big reason is our team of traffic control flaggers. In a nutshell, flaggers have one major duty – to relay important messages to the traffic and pedestrian flows moving past a work zone. To do this, they rely on an assortment of methods – Stop signs, Slow signs, bright flags, hand signals, or any combination thereof. In certain situations, we may beef things up a bit by deploying a remotely operated, automated flagger assistance device to provide further support and an added layer of safety to the work area.
Flagging Traffic Control Safety Services
You can bet our flagging traffic control safety services aren’t your run-of-the-mill variety. In fact, they stand head and shoulders above the rest. A major reason is that all prospective flaggers get an in-depth education through our proprietary training program. This rigorous curriculum prepares graduates for any traffic situation, including those requiring an emergency response intervention. To underscore the proficiency of our trainees, each graduate must earn the industry’s most prestigious credentials, including certifications awarded by OSHA. In technical terms, our flaggers are fully compliant with OSHA standard 1926.201(a).
Yes, our flaggers are ready for anything, including two-way flagging operations. Always a major challenge since they must manage traffic moving from opposite directions on a single lane (due to lane closure). Not exactly a cake walk. Preparations include setting up an advance warning area, transition area, buffer space, and flagger station (which gives motorists an advance sighting of flaggers).
Along with everything else, flagging operations demand a certain amount of physical exertion. That’s because participants stand for extended periods, putting significant strain on legs and feet. Clearly, this isn’t high on the list of cushy jobs. Because of this endurance test, our flagging team must be in acceptably good shape. Another example of our commitment to excellence at all levels of flagging service for traffic control.
Lane Closure Management Services
Traffic control flagging services, of course, form only one dimension of our traffic control program. Another important facet is our range of services. Basically, Roadway Construction Service covers the gamut. A big one on this long list is lane closures. In busy Southern California, there’s plenty of demand for this roadway intervention. To meet the demand, we’ve assembled a team of high caliber lane closure professionals, including traffic engineers (or planners), traffic control technicians, and, of course, flaggers.
Our distinguished team of planners launch the lane closure process, evaluating key variables such as traffic flow, road layouts, and general conditions to create the ultimate closure strategy. Naturally, this blueprint must comply with applicable municipal codes — or approval denied. No problem on that score. We know the codes backwards and forwards, an advantage that sets the stage for consistently prompt approvals.
Traffic Control Technicians
Following plan parameters to a tee, our traffic control technicians equip and construct every component of the lane closure setup, including warning, transition, and buffer zones. Rest assured, this team is solid gold, comprised of high level ATSSA certified traffic control technicians and supervisors. To this, add our MOT flagging services, which as discussed previously, provides another layer of safety via expert communication.
Bear in mind, Roadway Construction Service manages every type of lane closure in the known universe, including multiple lane closures, freeway lane closures, and ramp closures. Exactly what you’d expect from a full-service traffic control company like ours.
An important component of lane closure strategies and all other traffic interventions is the deployment of traffic barricades. To meet the varied needs of Southern California, Roadway Construction Service maintains an extensive inventory of barricades to cover all possible contingencies. Our diverse selection ranges from high-visibility traffic cones to the wall-like K rail (both concrete and water-filled), guaranteeing we’ll have the solution you need when you need it.
Temporary Traffic Control
One often overlooked aspect of temporary traffic control is construction notice sign installation, a crucial component of work zone safety. This explains why we’ve gone to great lengths to make sign installation an important part of our full-service repertoire. Properly deployed, this signage plays a critical role in the protection of work crews, motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians, providing advance warning of construction zone hazards. Installing these message devices requires intensive planning, permit acquisition, logistic analysis, and supreme installation skill. All outstanding reasons for choosing the experts at Roadway Construction Service for the job.
While we have the luxury of advance planning for signage installation and most other services, sometimes we’re treated to a surprise. Little surprises like those emergency situations that crop up here and there. Fortunately, Roadway Construction Service has developed exceptional emergency response mechanisms through our sophisticated program of work zone and emergency management. This program provides us with the tools and resources necessary to deploy effective rapid response solutions for virtually every contingency. From flooded streets caused by burst pipes to power disruptions triggered by high winds, these situations are effectively managed by our rapid response team.
Whether the situation is emergency or ordinary, big or small, you can count on our help day or night. That’s because Roadway Construction Service offers 24/7 traffic control. That means — all year long, including all holidays.
