Salus Traffic prepares traffic control plans and provides engineering support for construction, utility, and infrastructure projects across Toronto and Ontario. Municipalities and the MTO increasingly require custom plans rather than generic Book 7 layouts, and a well-prepared plan is often the difference between a permit approved on first submission and weeks of delay. Our team delivers plans that reflect the current April 2022 edition of OTM Book 7 and the specific requirements of each road authority.
Traffic Plans & Project Support
TRAFFIC CONTROL PLANS AND PROJECT SUPPORT IN ONTARIO
OTM BOOK 7 TRAFFIC CONTROL PLANS
Every plan we prepare starts from the fundamental principles in Book 7 and is customized to the site. We design plans to show all required signage with correct spacing and placement, calculate taper lengths from the posted speed and lane width, identify buffer and work zones, and note any pedestrian or cyclist provisions. Plans include a title block, legend, notes, and a sign schedule so the permit reviewer has everything needed to approve the submission.
Staging & Detour Layouts
Multi-phase projects need staging plans that show how traffic moves through each construction step. Salus Traffic prepares phased layouts that account for excavation sequences, paving schedules, utility relocations, and subtrade coordination. For projects that require full road closures we design detour routes using classified roads, coordinate with transit agencies when bus routes are affected, and prepare the advance detour signage schedule.
Traffic Consultation
Not every project needs a full set of drawings. Some clients need a second opinion on an existing plan, guidance on whether a Book 7 typical layout will satisfy the permit office, or help interpreting a municipal comment letter. Salus Traffic offers consultation on traffic control strategy, permit strategy, cost reduction opportunities, and safety reviews.
PROJECT COORDINATION SUPPORT
A traffic control plan is only useful if it is executed correctly in the field. Salus Traffic supports project teams through construction by attending pre-construction meetings, training field supervisors on the approved plan, updating drawings when conditions change, and responding to inspector and municipal staff questions.

If you have an upcoming project that will affect a public road in Ontario, it is worth talking to our team early. A plan prepared before permit submission moves faster than one rushed after a rejection. Contact Salus Traffic to scope your next traffic control plan.
