Frequently Asked Questions
Traffic control services entail directing vehicle and pedestrian traffic around work areas, tow/recovery scenes, crash sites, or other road closures by means of signage, cones, arrow boards, barricades, and barriers, along with flagging operations, also known as construction mitigation.
Whenever there is an incident on the roadside, be it a disabled or crashed vehicle, workers are exposed to moving traffic, particularly when working on high-speed roads, corners, or during poor visibility conditions. Traffic control is required to protect both those working and road users.
We cover lane closures and closure devices, signs, cones or barriers, flagging ("TCP"), and traffic flow management on a scene or construction zone, as well as minimizing any adverse effects for the public, such as emergency detouring.
Yes — our professionals at Mission Towing are fully certified and trained in accordance with provincial and municipal laws and traffic control regulations.
Yes — we do emergency/short-term work (towing, recoveries, and accidents) and planned access needs (such as construction zones—roadwork, maintenance, utility work, etc.).
We have the standard traffic control gear – cones, signs, lane closure trucks (with mounting/warning lights), message boards and barricades, as well as flaggers or safety personnel where needed.
Appropriate traffic control reduces the potential for secondary crashes, alerts oncoming drivers to hazards, provides tow crews with safe working room, and keeps activities safer — particularly along high-traffic roads or in low-visibility conditions.
Yes — laws and occupational safety standards usually dictate that wherever work along a roadside is hazardous from moving traffic, you must have proper control of that traffic.
Do you have the government´s permit or regulation before sending out a form for feedback traffic? (On a related note, that’s how traffic-control operations generally work.)
Yes, we mean our services can be combined for events or work zones where the public will mix with cars (for example, parking lot closures, roadway improvements that buttress sidewalks, events, etc.). Traffic control companies may either coordinate vehicle and pedestrian traffic or concentrate on vehicular traffic.
We require specific elements, such as site location (address), type of work or incident, duration and estimate, number of lanes to close or redirect, expected traffic, and any unique situations (night work, low visibility, heavy trucks).
We strive for quick response times to emergencies — our staff can get to you fast (for towing emergencies or accident-related incidents) or set appointments that fit your schedule if the job requires work areas.
Yes — recognizing that breakdowns, accidents, or emergencies can happen at any time, we provide 24/7 traffic-control services, day and night, including weekends.
Yes — for big or complex work zones (for instance, construction, long-term closures, diversions), we can provide a comprehensive traffic management plan — detailing signage layout, flagger positions, detour routes, and safety procedures to meet regulatory and safety standards.
Yes — as a responsible service provider, we have sufficient insurance coverage and comply with safety standards and established practices for managing liability for traffic management and towing projects.
Yes — our crews have been trained to work in inclement conditions (rain, snow, darkness). They will install additional visibility measures (reflective signs, lights, buffer vehicles) to enhance safety as they carry out their work, or if you are travelling nearby.
Although any lane closure or detour will introduce delays, we aim to manage traffic flows effectively, provide drivers with clear warnings and guidance, and minimize operational disruption. This can allow work or recovery to take place with minimal impact on traffic flow.
Yes — effective traffic control is significant when towing and recovering heavy vehicles or those of abnormal dimensions. Our team is qualified to control such operations safely, coordinating lane closures, detours, and safe work spaces around moving bunches of big rigs.
Yes - we adhere to relevant traffic-management standards and safety regulations, including best practice (worker) safety requirements.
Call or email our dispatch or service line with the specifics of your site or incident, tell us what kind of traffic control you require (such as lane closure, detour, flagging, complete work-zone management), and provide information about timing and location — and we will assess it, quote it or plan it and schedule a crew as appropriate.
