When it comes to construction, events, or emergencies that disrupt normal traffic flow, having a robust and effective temporary traffic control system is essential. In Oregon, where diverse terrains and urban settings intersect, temporary traffic control measures help keep both motorists and pedestrians safe. At Westates Flagman, we specialize in implementing meticulous traffic control plans tailored specifically for the needs of Oregon’s roads and communities.
Temporary traffic control refers to the strategies and equipment used to manage vehicular and pedestrian traffic during periods of disruption. This can occur due to construction, maintenance, road closures, or special events. Effective traffic control not only ensures safety but also helps maintain the flow of traffic, minimizing delays and accidents.
Traffic Control Plans (TCPs)
Developing a comprehensive traffic control plan is the first step in ensuring effective temporary traffic management. Our team at Westates Flagman crafts traffic control plans that comply with local regulations and industry standards tailored to the specific characteristics of the location.
Signage and Devices
Proper signage is vital for alerting drivers and pedestrians to changes in traffic patterns. We utilize variable message boards, cones, barricades, and warning signs to effectively communicate necessary information.
Flagging Services
Trained traffic flaggers play a crucial role in directing traffic and ensuring safe passage through work zones. At Westates Flagman, our certified flaggers use best practices for safe and efficient traffic flow.
Monitoring and Adjustments
Temporary traffic control measures should be continuously monitored and adjusted as needed. Our team regularly assesses traffic patterns and safety conditions to ensure the effectiveness of our traffic plans.

Temporary traffic control is typically necessary for road construction, maintenance work, public events, and accidents that obstruct normal traffic patterns.
The duration of temporary traffic control measures depends on the specific project or situation. Some may last only a few hours for events, while construction projects could take weeks or months.
Typically, the contractor in charge of a project will be responsible for implementing temporary traffic control. However, local government agencies also play a role in ensuring compliance with regulations.
