About this Exercise:

Whether we realize it or not, the practice of controlling traffic is probably the job we do most often – and certainly one of the most dangerous jobs we do.

The goals of this training exercise are to:

• Offer attendees the unique opportunity to observe and/or practice the proper set-up and control of a Temporary Traffic Control-TTC Zone on a closed-roadway under day and night operating conditions
• Build awareness as to the traffic control resources available to our local emergency services community

PLEASE NOTE: While available time and resources may limit the total number of hands-on participants, arrangements have been made to allow close observation of the live crash and tactical exercise.
