About This Course
Drivers in North America generally understand that all traffic must obey the instructions of a traffic control device unless directed to do otherwise by an authorized person. An authorized person is any person authorized under federal, provincial, or local government statute to direct or control vehicular and non-vehicular traffic on a highway.
Traffic control involves the controlling and/or directing of vehicular and pedestrian traffic around a construction zone, accident, or other road situation or emergency to protect emergency response personnel, maintenance workers, and the general public. Some form of traffic control is required when traffic must be moved through or around highway or street construction, maintenance operations, or utility work on or adjacent to a roadway.
Typically, traffic control is provided by a traffic control device. This can be via signs, signals, markings, channelizing devices, barriers, barricades, cones, electronic signs, pilot or buffer vehicles, and traffic control personnel. It is generally held that traffic control personnel should be employed only when all other methods of temporary traffic control would not be sufficient or adequate in reducing or eliminating the traffic hazard.
This Traffic Control course will provide students with the knowledge, training, skills, and qualifications necessary to conduct operations involving the control of traffic at construction sites, temporary traffic response locations, and while facilitating the transport of oversize loads. Upon successful completion of the course, graduates will have acquired the necessary knowledge and skills to correctly provide traffic control services at the basic level and will be awarded a Traffic Control certification, using industry-recognized best practices.

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.
How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?
When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
