ATSSA 2026 Recap: Innovation, Service & What’s Next

Summer brings more projects, more traffic, and more responsibility. Horizon Signal’s turnkey rental solutions are designed for customers who need a complete, worry-free traffic control package. From delivery and installation to ongoing maintenance, our team handles every detail for the full duration of your rental.

To properly maintain portable traffic signals during extreme summer heat, fleet operators must regularly monitor battery water levels to prevent evaporation, clear dust and jobsite debris from solar panels with a non-abrasive cloth, and use remote monitoring software to proactively track voltage metrics. Adhering to these steps prevents signal downtime and ensures continuous compliance in active work zones.

The newly published NEMA TS 40005 standard replaces the former NEMA TS-5 framework, modernizing regulations for Portable Traffic Signal Systems (PTSS). The 2026 revision introduces Type 3 Residential Driveway Temporary Signals (RDTS) and formalizes industry guidelines for wireless remote programming capabilities.
