Our goal is to prevent incidents before they can happen.

Operational Efficiency in Every Traffic Control Plan

A poorly designed plan can lead to costly delays and frustrate the public. We prioritize operational efficiency by creating plans that maintain traffic flow while securing your work zone. By considering every detail, from detour routes to signage placement, we help keep your project on schedule and on budget, minimizing disruption for everyone.

Types of Traffic Control Plans We Offer

Basic traffic control plans icon

Basic Plans

Typical Lead Time: 1–2 days

Our basic Traffic Control Plans are the ideal solution for small-scale projects with minimal impact on traffic. This includes simple work zone setups, sidewalk closures, or a single lane closure on a low-volume residential or local road. These plans are straightforward and designed for a fast turnaround to keep your project moving.

Intermediate traffic control plans icon

Intermediate Plans

Typical Lead Time: 2–3 days

Intermediate Traffic Control Plans are suited for medium-sized projects that have a more significant impact on traffic flow. This can involve multiple lane closures, temporary detours, or work on moderately busy streets. These plans require more detailed coordination and a thoughtful approach to minimize disruption while ensuring safety.

Complex traffic control plans icon

Complex Plans

Typical Lead Time: 5–7 days

For large-scale or high-impact projects, our complex Traffic Control Plans are essential. These are for major highway closures, special events, or extensive roadwork that require multi-phased and highly detailed planning. We work closely with you to develop a robust plan that handles every contingency and ensures the project runs smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Traffic Control Plan (TCP)?

A Traffic Control Plan is a detailed diagram that outlines how to safely manage the flow of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists around a work zone or special event. It specifies the placement of signs, cones, barriers, and flaggers to protect workers and the public. These plans are a key component for obtaining the necessary permits for your project.

How far in advance do I need to get a Traffic Control Plan?

The required lead time for a Traffic Control Plan depends on the complexity of your project and local permitting requirements. We recommend starting the process as early as possible to ensure sufficient time for design, review, and permitting. Our lead times typically range from 1-7 days depending on the plan type.

Do you handle the permit application process for my Traffic Control Plan?

Yes, LADMA can assist with the permitting process for your Traffic Control Plans. Our team has extensive experience working with local, state, and federal agencies in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. to ensure a smooth and timely approval process, saving you time and hassle.

What information do you need to create a Traffic Control Plan?

To create an accurate Traffic Control Plan, we need details about the project's location, the scope of work, the duration, any street closures or detours, and the type of equipment that will be used. Site plans and a point of contact are also very helpful to ensure the plan is a perfect fit for your needs.
