Work Zone Safety Equipment That Meets the Demands of the Job

TS&L provides traffic control equipment for construction crews, road maintenance teams, emergency responders, and municipalities managing public safety. Every product in our work zone lineup, from solar-powered light towers to programmable message boards and directional arrow boards, is built to perform in outdoor environments under continuous use.

Our equipment supports MUTCD-compliant work zone setups and is deployed across highway projects, utility maintenance corridors, special events, and emergency incident management sites throughout the United States.

A complete work zone setup rarely stops at advance warning. TS&L pairs its arrow boards and message boards with portable traffic signals for lane closures, driveways, and pedestrian crossings, and with flagging devices, including automated flagger assistance devices, that let a flagger control traffic from a safer position.

Powerful solar light tower providing reliable illumination for work zone safety.

Rugged Enough for Repeated Use

TS&L products are engineered for frequent outdoor deployment — resistant to weather, vibration, and the wear of active construction environments.

Speed is a major factor in work zone crashes. The Federal Highway Administration reports that speeding contributed to more than 37% of fatal work zone crashes in 2020. Placing LED radar speed signs upstream of a work zone, or along detour routes, shows approaching drivers their actual speed in real time. Solar and AC power options are available.
