Help residents go with the flow.
Discover the RDTSDeveloped in partnership with state DOTs
Since 2011, Horizon Signal has worked alongside FHWA and numerous State DOTs to develop the RDTS as an effective method for controlling residential driveway traffic. The RDTS is engineered to manage traffic from driveways within a one-lane work zone. Flashing arrows direct drivers to make safe turns out of their driveway and into the construction zone.
