KEEPING PROJECTS MOVING. KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE.

At Drake Traffic Control Services, we know there’s a lot more to traffic control than putting out cones and signs. Every work zone requires careful planning, experienced people, dependable equipment, and a team that understands how to keep workers, motorists, and pedestrians moving safely.

That’s what Drake brings to every project.

Based in Southern California, we work alongside contractors, utility companies, construction crews, municipalities, and public agencies to provide dependable traffic control solutions for projects large and small. From the initial planning and permitting stages to equipment, lane closures, work zone setup, and field support, our goal is simple: make traffic control one less thing our customers have to worry about.

BUILT ON EXPERIENCE

Traffic control happens in the real world, and experience in the field matters.

Our team combines technical knowledge with practical, hands-on experience to develop solutions that work both on paper and on the roadway. Drake utilizes certified traffic control design specialists and Civil/Traffic Engineers, while our field personnel are trained to properly implement and monitor work zones in accordance with applicable standards and requirements.

Whether we're developing a site-specific traffic control plan, coordinating a permit, setting up a closure, or helping motorists safely navigate an active work zone, attention to detail matters.

We take that responsibility seriously.

SAFETY COMES FIRST

Safety is at the center of everything we do.

Every closure affects more than the project itself. It affects the crews working within it, drivers traveling through it, pedestrians nearby, surrounding businesses, residents, and the general public.

Our traffic control technicians work to maintain safe, organized work zones while minimizing unnecessary disruption. From properly positioning equipment to monitoring traffic and assisting with access around closures, Drake's crews remain focused on keeping people protected and traffic moving.

Because a successful traffic control operation isn't simply one that gets set up, it's one that gets everyone through safely.

READY WHEN YOU NEED US

Construction doesn't always happen according to a convenient schedule.

That's why responsiveness is an important part of the Drake approach. Our team works hard to respond quickly, solve problems, and provide customers with the people, equipment, and support they need to keep their projects moving.

Drake also provides 24/7 emergency response services when unexpected situations require immediate traffic control support.

When something changes in the field, you need a traffic control partner who answers the phone and gets to work.

That's Drake.
