Design Smarter Work Zones – Portable Traffic Signals & HAWK System in Billings, Montana
In Billings, Montana, an intersection handling 15,000–20,000 vehicles per day — plus pedestrians and bicyclists — remained safe and efficient throughout a seven-month reconstruction project using Street Smart’s portable traffic signal trailers and a temporary HAWK (High-intensity Activated Crosswalk) system.
This fully autonomous setup, rented by the contractor, demonstrates how traffic design engineers can improve work zone safety and simplify staging by specifying DOT-approved temporary traffic control systems from day one.
🔧 Why Engineers Are Specifying These Systems:
✅ Fully DOT approved for nationwide use
✅ Ideal for:
• Single-lane closures
• Complex intersections (with turn signals and multiple lanes)
• Roundabouts, bridge maintenance, utility work
• Pilot car and haul truck operations
✅ Includes temporary HAWK system to maintain pedestrian safety and compliance
✅ Replaces traditional wood pole and span wire systems
✅ Requires no trenching, utility relocation, or on-site power
🧠 Engineer-Friendly Advantages:
Enhances pedestrian, cyclist, and motorist safety
Compatible with federal and state MUTCD requirements
Remotely programmable via 24/7 monitoring center staffed by certified traffic pros
Cuts labor, setup time, and long-term project costs
Supports smoother phased construction or long-duration traffic control
