Expert Lane Management

Lane Closure Technicians

The security of drivers, pedestrians, and other road users is the responsibility of our Lane Closure Technicians. This is one of the most critical and technically demanding roles in traffic management — and we take it seriously.

Our technicians are trained to plan, set up, monitor, and dismantle complex lane closures on highways, arterial roads, and city streets. We ensure that every closure meets the applicable municipal, provincial, and WorkSafeBC standards.

Lane Closure Services We Provide

• Full road closures for major construction, paving, or utility projects
• Single-lane alternating traffic setups with pilot car escort
• Partial lane closures (shoulder, parking, bike lane)
• Highway closures with Ministry of Transportation compliance
• Night and weekend closures to minimize traffic impact
• Emergency lane closures for accidents, spills, and repairs
• Intersection and crosswalk closure management

Setup & Equipment

A proper lane closure requires much more than cones. Our technicians arrive fully equipped with everything needed to establish a safe, compliant, and clearly marked workzone:

• LED flashing arrow boards and directional signage
• Water-filled jersey barriers and concrete barriers
• High-visibility delineator posts and traffic cones
• Advance warning signs, taper signs, and speed advisories
• Truck-mounted attenuators (TMA) for high-speed highway work
• Portable traffic signals for complex intersection management

Compliance & Safety Standards

Every lane closure Raxis Traffic sets up is designed and executed in strict accordance with the BC Traffic Control Manual (TCM), the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and all applicable WorkSafeBC regulations. We document every closure with pre-setup checklists, incident reports, and post-closure audits.
