The Traffic Control Company Contractors Count On
ATSSA-certified MOT crews operating daily across Maryland, Virginia, DC, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. MUTCD-compliant field execution. Deployed on your schedule — including the calls that come at 2 AM.
Who We Are
Started With One Truck.
Built on Showing Up When Others Didn't.
LADMA Traffic Control was founded to solve a problem every general contractor in the Mid-Atlantic knows too well: the traffic control sub that doesn't show up, shows up short-handed, or shows up without the right equipment. That failure costs project managers time, money, and credibility with their own clients. LADMA exists because that standard was unacceptable.
Founded by Ariesna Lopez, LADMA grew from a single crew into a multi-state operation by doing one thing consistently — delivering what was promised, on the day it was promised, with crews that arrived trained, equipped, and compliant. No excuses. No callbacks asking for directions. No field staff who hadn't touched a channelizing device before Tuesday.
Lopez brought an uncommon background to traffic control: formal training in public safety infrastructure from Lima, Peru, combined with a master's in business management. That combination — field-level understanding of how traffic systems protect lives, paired with the operational discipline to run a scalable company — is embedded in how LADMA operates today.
Ownership is on-site. Leadership answers the phone. When a scope change hits at 6 PM on a Friday, the person making the call has the authority to deploy. That direct accountability is why contractors across Maryland, Virginia, DC, Delaware, and Pennsylvania keep LADMA on their bid sheets — and why the crews that show up are the same ones who showed up last time.
Operational Capacity
By the Numbers
Traffic control is not theoretical. It is measured in deployment readiness, crew coordination, and execution under live traffic conditions. LADMA operates with the infrastructure required to support simultaneous work zones across the Mid-Atlantic — without compromising compliance or response time.
Our field operations are structured for consistency. Crews deploy with standardized procedures, equipment specifications, and compliance documentation aligned with current MUTCD and state DOT requirements. That operational discipline is what allows contractors to move forward with confidence.

Leadership & Structure
Structured for Execution.
Accountable by Design.
LADMA operates with a defined chain of command between ownership, operations management, safety oversight, and field supervision. That structure is not organizational formality — it is how scope changes get resolved in hours instead of days, how crews deploy with consistent standards across five states, and how clients reach a decision-maker without navigating a call center.
Field operations report directly to ownership. There is no middle layer between the crew supervisor standing at a lane closure and the person who can authorize additional resources, adjust scope, or escalate a safety concern. That direct line is deliberate. It exists because traffic control failures — late deployments, misconfigured setups, compliance gaps — almost always trace back to communication breakdowns between field and office. LADMA's structure eliminates that gap.
Every project is assigned a designated point of contact before mobilization. Contractors receive a direct number — not a dispatcher, not a queue. When conditions change on-site, the response is immediate because the person taking the call has the authority to act. That is the operational difference between a company built around accountability and one built around process.

Standards & Documentation
Certifications & Compliance
Every work zone LADMA operates is subject to federal, state, and local regulatory requirements. Our compliance framework is not reactive — it is built into crew training, equipment standards, and project documentation before a single cone is placed. The following certifications and operational standards govern every deployment.
ATSSA-Certified Personnel
Field crews hold current certifications through the American Traffic Safety Services Association. Training covers work zone setup, traffic control device placement, and incident response protocols.
MUTCD-Compliant Work Zones
All traffic control setups conform to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Taper lengths, sign spacing, channelization, and temporary traffic control plans are executed to current federal standards.
OSHA Safety Alignment
Operations align with OSHA standards for construction and general industry. Crew training includes hazard communication, PPE requirements, and worksite safety procedures applicable to live traffic environments.
Fully Insured & Bonded
LADMA carries general liability, commercial auto, and workers' compensation coverage meeting or exceeding standard subcontractor requirements. Certificates of insurance are provided upon request.
Multi-Jurisdiction DOT Familiarity
Operational experience across MDOT SHA, VDOT, DDOT, DelDOT, and PennDOT jurisdictions. Crews understand state-specific permit requirements, inspection expectations, and documentation standards for each authority.
Safety Program & Field Training
Standardized pre-shift safety briefings, daily equipment inspections, and ongoing field training managed by a dedicated Safety Director. Incident reporting follows a documented review protocol.
Contractor Risk Reduction
Compliance documentation is maintained project-ready. Certificates of insurance, crew certifications, equipment inspection logs, and safety program documentation are available for client review, audit, or regulatory inspection without lead time. When LADMA is on your bid, the compliance file is already built — not assembled after the fact. That documentation discipline protects both the work zone and the contractor's liability exposure.
Field-Proven Execution
Project Experience
LADMA supports general contractors, utility operators, and public agencies across project types ranging from long-term highway programs to same-day emergency deployments. The following represent the scope and conditions under which our crews operate.
Amazon DCA1 — High-Volume Facility Operations
Multi-month traffic management deployment at Amazon's DCA1 fulfillment center. Crews managed parking lot circulation, delivery truck routing, and employee vehicle flow during active operations. Work required coordination with facility management to maintain throughput during peak logistics windows without disrupting site access or creating bottlenecks.
Zero safety incidents through project duration
CBG — Multi-Phase Highway & Utility Operations
Ongoing traffic control support for CBG across highway and utility projects in Virginia. Scope included complex detour setups, multi-lane closures on high-traffic corridors, and pedestrian safety management in active urban zones. Crews adapted to mid-project scope changes and maintained compliant setups through shifting traffic patterns and DOT inspection cycles.
Repeat contractor engagement across multiple project phases
Utility Corridor Protection — Night & Weekend Operations
Traffic control for active utility excavation and underground infrastructure work across DC and Maryland arterials. Deployments included overnight lane closures requiring coordination with DDOT and MDOT SHA permit offices. Night operations demanded heightened safety protocols, retroreflective device placement, and real-time communication with utility crews working in confined excavation zones adjacent to live traffic.
Compliant closures maintained through all DOT inspection windows
Rapid Deployment — Emergency Work Zone Activation
Same-day and next-day emergency traffic control activations for contractors responding to infrastructure failures, water main breaks, and storm damage across the Mid-Atlantic. These deployments operate outside standard scheduling and require crews staged with full equipment loads ready for immediate mobilization. LADMA's 24/7 dispatch structure allows field teams to be on-site within the response window the situation demands.
Consistent response within contracted emergency timeframesRegional Operations
Coverage Area
LADMA deploys traffic control crews across five Mid-Atlantic jurisdictions. Each state and district operates under distinct DOT permitting, inspection protocols, and work zone standards. Our crews carry current familiarity with the regulatory requirements specific to every jurisdiction we serve.
