Smarter Today, Safer Tomorrow

"When I started Safety First Traffic Control in 2019, it wasn’t just another business venture—it was a mission. After decades in construction and real estate development, I saw an urgent need for traffic control services that prioritized more than just getting the job done. I wanted to create something safer, smarter, and more effective for everyone: the drivers navigating our roads and the workers risking their lives in the work zone.

At Safety First, safety isn’t just a slogan. It’s our promise. We partnered with NCDOT to develop the only in-house, DOT-approved training program in the region. This program doesn’t just meet state requirements—it exceeds them. It equips our team with the tools and knowledge to handle the dynamic and demanding environments of the greater Raleigh area and beyond.

But we didn’t stop there. We believe innovation drives excellence, which is why we created a first-of-its-kind traffic control app. This technology allows us to stay connected with our team in real-time, ensuring every operation runs seamlessly. Our trucks are also equipped with real-time cameras that are monitored and recorded 24/7, because transparency and accountability are non-negotiable when it comes to safety.

Our commitment to safety, training, and innovation isn’t just about today’s work zones. It’s about setting a new standard for the future. We’re not just building a business; we’re building trust and redefining what traffic control can and should be.

At Safety First Traffic Control, we invite you to experience the difference for yourself. Let us show you why we’re the safest choice in temporary traffic control. Together, we’ll pave the way for a safer tomorrow."
