AFAD – Automated Flagger Assistance Devices

Automated Flagger Assistance Devices (AFADs) are temporary traffic control equipment that can be remotely operated, allowing a single individual to control and direct traffic. AFADs can provide a safe alternative to flaggers.

Not sure if AFADs are right for your project? We’d be happy to help you decide.

Traffic signs

Content to come.

Sign supports

We’ve got every type of sign support you might need on your project. Browse the selection below to find the right fit for your traffic control project.

Barricades

Barricades are portable or fixed traffic control devices. They are required to be highly visible and also frangible (in case of impact). They are used to delineate or restrict part or all of a road, particularly to indicate areas where traffic cannot proceed. They are a key part of traffic control and safety, helping guide motorists and pedestrians, and keeping them out of where they shouldn’t be. All barricade types can also be used as sign supports.

We carry a wide selection of barricades for any traffic control need. Not sure what your project requires? Feel free to reach out and we’ll be happy to advise you.

Delineators

There are two types of delineators: surface mounted, and post mounted.

Surface-mounted delineators are usually used on the centreline to separate opposing traffic on a two-lane, two-way roadway. They are usually orange, and can be struck by vehicles without causing damage. They are fastened directly to the surface of the road.

Post-mounted delineators are most commonly used in long-duration work zones to mark the edge of roadway through diversions.

Crash Attenuators

Crash attenuators—also called impact attenuators—are safety systems that absorb energy when they are hit by a vehicle. They come in several forms, depending on the type of project. Some are attached to the exposed ends of fixed objects like barriers or bridge piers, others are temporary. These traffic safety devices can help reduce the impact of crashes and are an important traffic control safety feature.

We are happy to advise you on what type of crash attenuator is right for your project.
