Advantages of portable traffic lights
Safety is an integral part of successful road engineering. The unpredictability of motorists and pedestrians combined with heavy machinery can cause accidents. Traffic management equipment is constantly being developed and improved to reduce or eliminate the possibility of serious injuries caused by accidents.
The following are some of the advantages of using portable traffic lights in the civil and road industries.
Improve safety
The main reason for using portable traffic lights is that they do not require traffic controllers to be on the road. By eliminating the human factor, the chance of traffic controllers being injured can be significantly reduced or completely eliminated, depending on the type of traffic light used. Although the PTL2 trailer unit can work autonomously, the PTL3 tripod unit requires a traffic controller to manage traffic lights as needed. However, they can be completely off the road and can change the light from a long distance.
Better visibility
Both portable devices use bright LED lights, which are clearly visible during the day and night. In many cases, they can even pass through heavy rain and fog. LEDs can be seen from a long distance and help drivers predict changes in road conditions as they approach. Another benefit of LEDs is their high energy efficiency and long service life, so they can be used effectively for many years.
convenient
The mobile nature and ease of setup of portable traffic lights make them a convenient way to manage traffic. There is less training and preparation involved, and more time to complete the work. Each unit is designed to provide the greatest benefits with the least equipment.
cut costs
In the long run, portable traffic lights will provide considerable savings. When considering the labor costs of traffic controllers and the risks associated with the use of personnel to operate the machines, cost savings quickly become apparent.
