Traffic Management Operations

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN TORONTO AND ACROSS ONTARIO

Salus Traffic delivers full traffic management for construction, utility, and municipal projects across Toronto, the GTA, and Ontario. Every deployment is planned and executed to Ontario Traffic Manual Book 7 standards and backed by traffic experts who design your work zone from the ground up and supervisors who see it through on site. From setup to demobilization, you have one accountable partner covering the entire operation.

EXPERT WORK ZONE DESIGN

Before a single cone hits the road, our traffic experts design a work zone built for your specific site. We don’t pull generic layouts off a shelf, we assess the road classification, posted speed, pedestrian and cyclist exposure, staging sequence, and permit requirements, then produce a custom OTM Book 7 compliant plan that’s ready for submission and built to be executed safely in the field. When conditions change mid-project, we update the plan and keep your project moving.

SPECIAL EVENT TRAFFIC CONTROL

Salus Traffic manages traffic for road races, parades, festivals, and community events across Toronto and Ontario. We design event-specific closure plans, coordinate road and lane closures with municipalities and police services, and handle permitting from initial application through to day-of execution. On-site crews manage detours, pedestrian routing, and vehicle access for residents and businesses along the route, with signage and barricades deployed to OTM Book 7 standards. Whether it’s a single-morning 5K or a multi-day festival footprint, Salus Traffic delivers the same certified crews, supervision, and accountability we bring to every operation.

Dedicated Traffic Supervisors

Salus Traffic supervisors are available to be deployed to your site as needed. Whether for a single critical shift or the full duration of a complex, multi-phase project. On site, they do more than oversee. They conduct active inspections of the work zone to verify that the traffic control setup meets Book 7 requirements, that signage is correctly placed, and that crews are operating to the approved plan. When conditions change, staging advances, or an inspector raises a concern, your supervisor is already there, with the knowledge and authority to address it on the spot. For the most demanding projects in Ontario, having a Salus supervisor on the ground is how you stay ahead of compliance issues before they become project delays.

Lane Closures for Urban Roads & Freeway

No two closures are the same. Whether your project is on a busy downtown street or a high- speed 400-series freeway, Salus Traffic has the crews, equipment, and experience to set up and manage your work zone safely — whatever the conditions. Every closure uses calculated taper lengths, buffer zones, and advance warning signage matched to the posted speed and road classification.

Truck-Mounted Attenuators

Salus Traffic operates MASH compliant truck-mounted attenuators designed to absorb rear-end impacts and protect crews working in or near live traffic. Our TMAs are deployed for mobile operations, short-term stationary work, and high-speed lane closures on Ontario freeways and arterials — meeting the test level requirements set out for work zones in the province. When your crew is exposed to live traffic, TMA protection is the standard, and Salus Traffic delivers it.

Certified Flagging Crews

Salus Traffic flagging crews are Book 7 certified, fully equipped, and trained to handle the conditions that are common on site. Poor sightlines, high-speed traffic, shifting weather, and unplanned changes to the work zone. Every flagger arrives with full PPE, high-visibility apparel, two-way radios, and standardized signage, and knows how to keep traffic moving safely while protecting the crew behind them. Whether the job is a short-duration utility repair or a complex multi-lane road construction project, our flagging operations are consistent, professional, and built to hold up under scrutiny.

Night Operations

Many Ontario road projects run overnight to reduce daytime congestion. Salus Traffic staffs dedicated crews trained to operate at night. Our crews are trained in lighting tower positioning, and low-visibility flagging procedures. We plan closures around municipal noise by-laws, coordinate with inspectors, and hold the same compliance standards we apply during daylight hours.

PEDESTRIAN & CYCLIST MANAGEMENT

Work zones in Toronto and other dense Ontario cities almost always affect pedestrians and cyclists. Salus Traffic designs and installs AODA-compliant pedestrian routing, covered walkways, temporary sidewalks, and cyclist detour channels. We coordinate with transit stops, wheelchair access, and school zones, and provide way finding signage that keeps non-vehicular traffic moving safely through the work.

WHY CHOOSE SALUS TRAFFIC

Our team brings together certified crews, modern equipment, expert plan designers, and experienced supervisors — all under one roof. Whether the project is a single-day utility locate in Mississauga or a multi-phase LRT build in Toronto, clients get the same Book 7 compliance, the same response standards, and the same accountability on every job.
