Temporary Traffic Control Intensive
Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) is a vital part of any road department’s regular function. Proper traffic control practices can be the difference between productive work zones and those that put your workers in danger. At NM-LTAP, we see the importance of the work you do and aim to support you and your team. That is why we are excited to bring your crew a two-part Temporary Traffic Control Intensive on August 28, 2026, and September 18, 2026.
On August 28, Part 1 will focus on training in planning, implementing, and removing work zones. After the course, you can reflect on what you’ve learned and bring your questions to Part 2 on September 18! During Part 2, you’ll learn more about emergency response, pedestrians and bicycles, and the future of flagging.
These courses will be presented by Todd Morrison, who brings over 30 years of transportation experience to these sessions. He has expertise as a Safety Circuit Rider, a flagging instructor, a Traffic Control (TTC) instructor, and as a specialist in Traffic Control Design. Todd has facilitated more than 500 courses in the past ten years, including dozens in New Mexico. Todd is thrilled to bring TTC Intensives to New Mexico agencies to support your efforts.
