2. Safety Compliance:

• Ensure regulatory compliance: Workers must ensure all traffic control setups are in line with local, state, and federal regulations. This includes following guidelines like the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) in the U.S., or similar regulatory frameworks in other countries.
• Monitor for safety hazards
• Provide safety instructions

3. Communication:

• Clear and direct communication
• Bilingual skills: Being bilingual is crucial, particularly in areas with a diverse population. This includes giving clear directions in both English and a secondary language (e.g., Spanish, French). This ensures public safety across a wide range of people.

5. Customer Service:

6. Clean Driving Record: 7. Non-union: 9. ATSSA Certified:

• The American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) certification is a key requirement. It validates that the worker has completed necessary training in traffic control safety practices and is qualified to handle the responsibilities of setting up and managing work zone traffic control.
• ATSSA certification ensures that the worker understands best practices for work zone safety and compliance with MUTCD standards.

10. Year-Round / Some Overtime: Additional Considerations:

• Physical Demands: The role often requires physical stamina, as workers are on their feet for long periods, may be exposed to harsh weather conditions, and may need to lift or move traffic control devices.
• Training and Development: In addition to ATSSA certification, some employers may provide on-the-job training or additional safety courses to ensure that traffic control workers stay up-to-date with the latest safety standards and regulations.
• Working Conditions: The work is typically outdoors, often near heavy traffic, and may involve noise, dust, and sometimes hazardous conditions, particularly in construction zones. Safety gear such as high-visibility vests, hard hats, and gloves is mandatory.
