We at MSI believe that above all else, safety is our
no. 1 priority. That statement is especially crucial when providing
traffic control. Our traffic professionals go through extra training to
give them the fundamental knowledge to keep control. The second and
third part of the equation are patience and organization. Dealing with
disgruntled and emotional pedestrians and drivers can prove to be a
little stressful. We understand and have the experience to to prepare
our people to handle these issues. We maintain and stock every type of
traffic control gear available on the market. Organization is all about
having a game plan before the event. That's why our team consults their
plans with the event coordinator is an effort to increase efficiency
between our plans and theirs.
In addition, we train all of our Traffic Controllers
by the standards set forth by the US Department of transportation Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
When
the normal function of the roadway is suspended, Traffic Controller
planning provides for continuity of the movement of motor vehicle,
bicycle, and pedestrian traffic (including accessible passage); transit
operations; and access (and accessibility) to property and utilities.
The primary function of Traffic Controller is to provide for the
reasonably safe and efficient movement of road users through or around
Traffic Controller zones while reasonably protecting workers, responders
to traffic incidents, and equipment.
Of equal importance to the public traveling through the Traffic
Controller zone is the safety of workers performing the many varied
tasks within the work space. Traffic Controller zones present constantly
changing conditions that are unexpected by the road user. This creates
an even higher degree of vulnerability for the workers and incident
management responders on or near the roadway (see Section 6D.03). At the
same time, the Traffic Controller zone provides for the efficient
completion of whatever activity interrupted the normal use of the
roadway.
