Signal Safety Week 2026 - August 3 - 7

Reducing Exposure to Live Traffic
Every day, work crews face the dangers of operating near active traffic. Temporary traffic signals help reduce that exposure by providing automated, reliable traffic control that allows workers to move out of active lanes and into safer positions. From bridge replacements and roadway improvements to lane closures and intersection projects, Horizon Signal systems help create safer environments where crews can focus on the work ahead.

Proven Performance in Challenging Work Zones
No two work zones are the same, and many projects require traffic control solutions that perform in demanding conditions. Horizon Signal equipment has supported projects involving nighttime operations, winter weather, holiday travel, and low-visibility environments where consistent traffic movement is critical. By delivering reliable operation when conditions are at their most challenging, our systems help contractors and agencies maintain safer, more efficient work zones.

Expanding Safety for Pedestrians and All Roadway Users
Work zone safety extends beyond vehicles and workers — pedestrians and communities must also be considered. Horizon Signal continues to support evolving traffic safety needs through solutions such as Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) and HAWK-controlled pedestrian crossings. These technologies help improve visibility, provide safer crossing opportunities, and create better interactions between vehicles and pedestrians in temporary traffic environments.

Supporting a Safer Future Through Innovation
For more than a decade, Horizon Signal has been dedicated to developing reliable traffic control solutions that help protect workers and the traveling public. Signal Safety Week is a chance to recognize the progress being made across the industry and highlight the commitment.
