Our Mission is to promote traffic safety and efficiency by providing for the orderly movement of all road users on streets and highways throughout Mohave County
The Traffic Control Division is responsible for installing and maintaining traffic signs and highway striping. The division currently maintains approximately 25,000 traffic control devices including regulatory signs, warning signs, guide and street name signs. Approximately 98% of the traffic signs used by the division are manufactured at the Kingman facility. Signs are manufactured by applying plotter cut vinyl sheeting from a computer based graphic design system. This computer based system utilizes software provided by Gerber Scientific. The reflective and non-reflective vinyl sheeting products are supplied by 3M Company.
The division applies traffic paint to the centerline of Pierce Ferry Rd. utilizing a 1998 Morton TMT257P Highway Striper In addition to traffic signing, the division is responsible for centerline striping, edge line striping, crosswalk markings, stop line markings, and other special pavement markings. The division utilizes a lead free/water based traffic paint. This product is not only environmentally safe, but safe for the personnel involved in the application. Highway safety spheres (glass beads) are imbedded into the wet traffic paint as it is applied. This process provides marking reflectivity for night time driving conditions. Crosswalk markings and stop line markings are installed either by utilizing an adhesive reflective pavement tape or by torch-fusing thermoplastic to the roadway surface. The division currently maintains over 300 miles of centerline striped roadway, approximately 150 miles of edge lined roadway, over 1,600 stop lines and approximately 20 crosswalks.
