Traffic Control Plans for Permits, Lane Closures & Work Zones
LADMA develops TCP and MOT plans for general contractors, utility contractors, and government agencies operating across Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, and Delaware. Every work zone traffic control plan we produce is structured around MUTCD standards and applicable state DOT supplements — from single-lane closure diagrams to multi-phase detour sequencing — and prepared for permit submittal to state and local agencies.
Scope & Deliverables
What’s Included in Our Traffic Control Plans
Every TCP and MOT plan we develop follows MUTCD standards and applicable state supplement requirements. Plans are structured for permit submittal to the governing agency and detailed enough for direct field execution by traffic control crews.

Insight
How Long Does a Traffic Control Plan Take?
Development timelines vary based on project scope, agency review requirements, and the number of revision cycles involved. Three factors have the most influence.
- Roadway classification and posted speed
- Lane impacts, detours, and phasing complexity
- Agency review cycles and revision comments
Development Workflow
Our Traffic Control Plan Development Process
Each TCP and MOT plan follows a structured development workflow built around MUTCD requirements and applicable state DOT supplements. Plans are prepared for agency review standards and detailed for direct field execution by temporary traffic control (TTC) crews.
- Project location & roadway classification
- Posted speed & lane configuration
- Work type & duration
- Lane & shoulder impacts
- Agency jurisdiction identification
- Lane closure & channelization layout
- Sign spacing per posted speed
- Taper length calculations
- Detour routing (when required)
- MUTCD conformance check
- State supplement verification
- Device legend & notation accuracy
- Field crew readability review
- Agency-specific submission formatting
- Revision cycle support
- Agency comment response coordination
- Print-ready PDF plan sets
- CAD-compatible files (if applicable)
- Revision history documentation
Agency Coordination
Permit Submittal Experience Across the Mid-Atlantic
Our traffic control plan development team maintains working familiarity with the submission standards, supplement requirements, and review workflows of state DOT and municipal permitting agencies across the region. This includes an understanding of format expectations, revision procedures, and documentation requirements that vary by jurisdiction.
Plan Readiness
Built for Permit Review and Field Execution
Every traffic control plan we produce is checked against agency formatting standards, MUTCD requirements, and state supplement specifications before submittal. Here is what goes into that process.
- Project location limits
- Lane and shoulder impacts
- Work hours and duration
- Posted speed limit
- Agency or jurisdiction
- Detour needs (if any)
- Site plans or sketches
- Special conditions or notes
- MUTCD-based layouts
- State supplement alignment
- Sign spacing tables
- Taper length calculations
- Traffic control device legend
- Revision block included
- PDF plan set delivery
- CAD-compatible (when applicable)
- Taper lengths verified
- Sign sequence confirmed
- Device spacing reviewed
- Phase clarity check
- Notes and symbols audit
- Field readability review
- Agency format compliance
- Revision tracking active
Project Applications
Permit-Ready Traffic Control Plans for Complex Work Zones
We draft TCP and MOT plans for projects where lane geometry, traffic volumes, or multi-phase staging require a structured approach to work zone traffic control. Each plan is scoped to the project conditions and formatted for the governing agency.
- Urban arterial lane closures
- Highway shoulder operations
- Utility crossings and aerial work
- Intersection reconstruction
- Multi-phase corridor projects
- Night work and off-peak operations
- Rolling operations
- Detour-based full closures
