Work zone safety is R&R Contracting’s primary discipline. We provide ATSSA-certified crews, turnkey traffic management, and compliance-first operations to general contractors, state DOTs, municipalities, and private developers across Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, and the greater Mid-Atlantic. Whether you need a fully managed work zone from plan to pickup or specialized labor to extend your own team, R&R staffs the zone with trained personnel and delivers the signage, barriers, flagging, lane closures, and night-work setups that keep your project moving — and the public safe.
What We Handle on Every Work Zone
R&R’s work zone capabilities cover the full scope of traffic management a construction, utility, or maintenance project requires.
Lane Closures & Traffic Diversion
Single-lane, multi-lane, rolling closures, and full detours — set up, maintained, and broken down to MUTCD and state DOT specifications. Our crews coordinate with GC schedules and utility shutoffs so closures go up on time and come down when you need the road back.
Temporary Signage, Barriers & Drums
We supply and place all advance warning signs, drums, cones, arrow boards, and concrete or water-filled barriers. Each setup is engineered to the speed and geometry of the work zone, not pulled from a one-size template.
Flagging Crews & Pedestrian Management
ATSSA-certified flaggers for single-flagger and paired operations, pedestrian control at sidewalk and ADA crosswalk closures, and intersection management during signal outages. Crews rotate on shift cycles that meet state fatigue guidelines.
Night Lighting & After-Hours Setups
Light-tower placement, illuminated advance warning, and reflective setups for nighttime lane closures and emergency work. We work second- and third-shift schedules to keep daytime traffic impacts minimal.
Traffic Control Plans & MOT Design
Before the first cone goes down, R&R can develop the Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan your permit or contract requires. We engineer traffic control plans to MUTCD standards and the specific submittal requirements of MDOT SHA, VDOT, DDOT, DelDOT, and PennDOT. If your project has an approved MOT already, our crews execute to it. If it doesn’t, we design one.
Certified Work Zone Crews — Our Staffing Model
R&R is built for two project realities. When a GC needs a fully managed work zone, we deliver turnkey — plan, equipment, crew, compliance, and teardown. When a GC has their own project team and needs certified traffic control personnel to extend their workforce, we supply trained crews for the hours and scope you define. OSHA- and ATSSA-trained, badged, and ready to deploy on short notice across the region.
Work Zone Safety & State DOT Compliance
Every R&R work zone is designed and staffed to MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) and the relevant state DOT compliance standards — including MDOT SHA in Maryland, VDOT in Virginia, DDOT in Washington DC, DelDOT in Delaware, and PennDOT in Pennsylvania. Setup, signage placement, and personnel certifications are documented and audit-ready.
