Why Streetwise?

The Right Design. Every Time.

Advanced Traffic Control Plan Expertise

Our team uses state-of-the-art traffic control planning software to build highly accurate, scaled representations of your work zone. We account for actual road geometry, speed limits, sight distances, and existing infrastructure to eliminate guesswork.

DOT & MUTCD Compliance

Every plan we draw strictly adheres to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) as well as specific Missouri (MODOT) and Kansas (KDOT) state amendments. We ensure your submittals pass regulatory review on the first attempt.

Permitting Coordination

Streetwise doesn’t just draw the plans—we understand the local municipal landscapes of the Kansas City metro and surrounding regions. We submit the paperwork, coordinate with traffic engineers, and secure your traffic control permitting so you can perform your work on time.

How It Works

Simple Process With Professional Results

From analyzing your site’s traffic data to securing the final stamp of approval, Streetwise navigates the complex regulatory steps so your project remains legally protected and safely isolated from traffic.

Site Analysis & Drafting

Our design team pulls local mapping data and reviews any civil blueprints you provide. We then produce a site-specific temporary traffic control design, complete with sign placement distances, taper lengths, and buffer zones.

Agency Review & Permitting

Once you approve the initial draft, we handle the logistics of submitting the construction traffic plans to the appropriate state, county, or city engineering departments. We answer technical questions and modify drawings to secure swift permit approval.

Final Approval & Field Ready

We hand over a fully approved, stamped traffic control plan ready for your field crew or our deployment team. Your crew can execute the work with total confidence, knowing every sign and device is perfectly placed for legal compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Traffic Control Plans

Have a question not answered here? Call us—we’re always happy to talk through your project needs.

Why do cities require traffic control plans for simple lane closures?

Municipalities require site-specific traffic control planning to protect public safety, manage localized congestion, and shield themselves from liability. A professional plan proves to traffic engineers that your work zone will not inadvertently trap drivers, block emergency vehicles, or create blind spots at busy intersections.

How long does it typically take to design a plan and get it approved?

Drafting a standard site-specific plan usually takes our team 2 to 4 business days depending on complexity. However, the agency review and traffic control permitting process depends entirely on the local municipality or state DOT, ranging from a few days for smaller cities to several weeks for major state highway disruptions. We always recommend planning ahead.

Can Streetwise handle the physical setup of the equipment once the plan is approved?

Yes. We are a full-service traffic safety company. Once our design team secures your approved construction traffic plans, our field logistics crew can deliver, set up, maintain, and eventually retrieve all the signs, barricades, and electronic devices specified in the blueprints.

What happens if field conditions change once the project starts?

If unexpected physical field conditions arise, such as an unmapped tree blocking a sign’s visibility or a concurrent utility project overlapping your zone, our design team can issue a plan revision. We will modify the temporary traffic control design to address the conflict and submit the update to the inspector for approval.

Do your traffic control plans include provisions for pedestrians and bicycles?

Yes. Modern public works standards heavily emphasize safe accommodation for all road users. Our traffic control planning process evaluates sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike paths. If your work zone disrupts these areas, we engineer dedicated, ADA-compliant pedestrian detours and high-visibility channelizing plans to keep pedestrians safely isolated from both the construction and live vehicular traffic.
