A great event means smooth traffic flow! - J.M. Teague Traffic Engineering

JMTE brings safety, expertise to any public event.

There’s never been a more important time to consider traffic planning and safety as part of your special event planning. Many local governments are holding event organizers and operators responsible for smooth traffic flow by requiring temporary traffic control plans and more. Local law enforcement doesn’t have time for set-up and maintenance around the event site. The success of your special events is a key to how your community presents itself to the world, and that means giving adequate attention to traffic control and public safety during your planning process. J.M. Teague Engineering and Planning can take care of all these details for you.

“What we did on our trip…” When it comes to staging a successful festival or event, there’s nothing worse than discovering you’ve forgotten an important detail as people begin to arrive. Too often that important detail is proper planning for traffic control and public safety.Special events are great ways to help visitors and residents enjoy your community. The challenge is that events affect not only travelers on the main roads into your town, but normal traffic and those providing support services to the event, who use the adjoining roadways. The impact can be especially noticeable for events located in rural settings because rural communities often have a limited capacity, alternative routes may not exist, access to the event site is restricted, and public services are not conveniently located to assist with traffic management or providing support services that event patrons may need immediately. JMTE has a long history of successful planning for events large and small.

Don’t let stagnant traffic flow be the main story of your event. We excel at providing traffic management services and we have partnerships with reliable firms that offer equipment rental, delivery and installation, traffic counts and all the marketing services you’ll need for a memorable event.
