Changing the way we look at traffic management

Vision

Our company vision is based on two primary concepts.

• Improving the quality of traffic control performed in the Province of Ontario
• Creating a safer environment for all road users through positive guidance

Mission

We accomplish our vision through services provided to our clients, using our knowledge and experience from many decades of working in the industry.

These services include:

• Inspect traffic control closures and report our findings to our clients.
• Advocate for improved level of competency for workers in our industry.
• Provide relevant and informative training that goes beyond existing courses.
• Promote and teach the concept of “Positive Guidance” throughout the industry.
• Provide expert witness testimony to help protect against litigation.

Our team has the most experience in the industry. We have been instrumental in the development of OTM Book 7 and its subsequent reviews. Our team has worked across all levels of the traffic control industry, offering a unique perspective that no one else can provide.

Our clients are roadway owners and contractors who prioritise the quality of work on their roads and work sites. They are also committed to being hyper-diligent in protecting themselves from litigation due to negligence.

We genuinely care about traffic control; it has been part of our lives for more than 30 years and it matters to us. The industry has seen a decline in the quality of traffic control in the past few years and we hope to be part of the road to change.

The increased risk to road users and contractors grows each year and our company provides services intended to help protect these parties from exposure to the risk of negligence by others.

• Inspections of temporary traffic control measures set up by private contractors, municipal crews, and any other road users.
• Post Incident site inspections where traffic control may have been a factor.
• Reporting on traffic control measures set up based on compliance with OTM Book 7, HTA, OHSA, general best practices, and other relevant regulations.
• Reporting on effectiveness of traffic control measures for traffic flow and driver compliance.
• Reporting any liability concerns to reduce exposure to potential risk of future costs.
• Make suggestions for any improvements to be put in place to meet all the above concerns, if any.
• Review temporary installations with special focus on pedestrians, cyclists, and people with disabilities needs and movement.
• Provide expert witness testimony in cases where temporary traffic control was part of the concern on file or has potential to impact the case.
• Advise clients on future ways to improve overall performance of their traffic control installations.
• Provide traffic management training, and other related industry training for workers and others who need it to meet their OHSA requirements.

Our approach goes beyond the obvious concerns and issues. Our deep understanding of the small details of proper traffic control allows us to anticipate problems before they arise. We offer unique strategies for enhancing quality and compliance on each project site. While technology is a useful tool, physical site inspections remain the best way to fully understand site conditions and improve quality management.
