A temporary traffic light system should be planned around the traffic management arrangement, not only around the equipment list. Before procurement, define the location, operating sequence, power approach, transport needs, and project responsibilities.
Map the controlled movement
Provide a simple plan showing each approach, stop position, work zone, and proposed signal location. Indicate whether the system is used for a lane closure, alternating one-way movement, controlled access, or another temporary condition.
Procurement and deployment inputs
- Number of approaches and signal units
- Required control sequence and synchronization method
- Power source, operating hours, and site access
- Mobile base, trailer, stand, or mounting requirement
- Transport, packing, storage, and redeployment needs
- Required operating documents and site acceptance process
Assign responsibilities early
Clarify who will install, configure, operate, inspect, and remove the equipment. These responsibilities are part of the project plan and should be understood before the final order is placed.
For product options, visit mobile traffic lights. For a project-specific list, send the traffic plan to GQ Traffic.
