Services

BATS services are performed with care and consideration for the needs of all road users—motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians—in the public right of way or on private roads open to public travel. BATS complies with all MUTCD Standards and operates in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

TRAFFIC CONTROL PLANS

Our highly qualified Drafting Technicians have extensive experience working with a majority of city and county governments in Northern California, as well as with Caltrans. We provide top-quality traffic control plans to ensure the safety of all workers, drivers, and pedestrians. Our drafting technicians make it a personal goal not only to meet MUTCD standards but to exceed them. You can be sure that their plans will both put safety first and minimize inconvenience to the public.

FLAGGING

All BATS flaggers are Certified Flaggers by ATSSA, trained at our own state-of-the-art facility. They are trained to protect the project work zone and work-zone personnel and to provide safe, courteous, and authoritative directions to the public. BATS flaggers come onsite fully prepared with PPE clothing and equipment that exceeds the required minimum. On certain jobs (for example, when two-direction traffic needs to alternate the use of one open lane around a blind curve) in addition to a flagging crew, we can use Automated Flagger Assistance Devices (AFADs). These AFADs enhance crew and road-user safety with an array of features not offered by the competition.

LANE CLOSURES

BATS Traffic Control Technicians are certified in the art of highway and freeway lane closures. They are dispatched in traffic control trucks equipped with cab-over arrow boards, in-bed buckets for cone deployment from either the median or the shoulder, and more standard equipment and signs than the competition. This allows BATS crews to safely and efficiently close lanes as needed, from a single lane to complex multilane, multidirectional closures. BATS lane closure crews arrive on site with a commanding knowledge of traffic regulations, ready to assist you with all your encroachment goals.

CONSTRUCTION AREA SIGNS

BATS operates a complete in-house Graphics department with a full-service sign shop. Custom signs can often be made on a day’s notice. BATS crews are experienced in all forms of construction-area sign mounting, from post mounts, to strap and saddle, to barricade deployment.

ROAD CLOSURES

When the relevant owning agency (typically city, county, or Caltrans) permits, BATS is ready to execute full road closures. Our in-house Graphics department can make custom detour and public awareness signs, often with next-day service. A full closure completely removes public traffic from the work zone, providing the safest possible environment for your project. Please note once again that before any road closure can be implemented, the owning agency must approve the detour.

FREEWAY WORK

When you need to work on the freeway, you need to work with BATS. Our certified Traffic Control Technicians step up to the challenges associated with high-speed freeway traffic. On these jobs our traffic control trucks are accompanied by impact attenuator vehicles, for an added layer of protection between you and approaching cars and trucks. BATS is ready, willing, and able to perform complete freeway closures, with detours as needed.

ABOVE AND BEYOND

BATS is leading the traffic safety industry in bringing product innovation to market. BATS has introduced the best Automated Flagger Assistance Devices (AFADs) in the country to Northern California. BATS also works hard to make sure that the driving and pedestrian public is aware of work zone encroachment and possible hazards. This includes being the first company in California to use automated audible pedestrian warning systems.
