Portable Traffic Signal Rentals for High-Volume Intersections
Smart Alternatives to Span Wire Traffic Signals—Deployed in Scottsdale, AZ
When a local contractor faced a complex intersection overhaul in Scottsdale, Arizona, they turned to Street Smart Rental for a reliable, flexible traffic control solution. With the existing signal cabinets removed, no on-site power, and multiple lanes of traffic to manage, traditional span wire setups weren’t feasible.
Instead, our team designed and deployed a fully portable traffic signal system—ensuring over 100,000 vehicles per day could safely navigate the intersection throughout the project.
What Was Deployed:
-
Temporary truss-mounted portable traffic signals
-
Temporary signal heads on the bridge, powered by a portable solar trailer
- Temporary pedestrian crosswalk pedestals
Why Portable Signals Were the Ideal Choice:
-
Span wire signals weren’t possible due to site constraints and infrastructure removal
- Designed specifically to function without on-site electricity
-
Portable units offered rapid deployment, remote programmability, and autonomous operation
-
Easily managed complex, multi-lane signal phasing without the need for external power or cabling
-
Remote monitoring and programming capabilities
Key Benefits:
- Supports High Traffic Volume – Over 100,000 cars/day safely managed
- No On-Site Power Needed – Fully self-contained systems
- Span Wire Alternative – Perfect for intersections with infrastructure limitations
- Safe and Efficient – Consistent signal patterns, reduced setup time, and minimal disruption
- Remote Monitoring & Adjustments – Make real-time updates from anywhere
Whether you’re managing a full intersection reconstruction or temporary traffic control with limited infrastructure, Street Smart’s portable traffic signals are a proven alternative to span wire systems—trusted by contractors nationwide for their safety, flexibility, and ease of deployment.

Equipment Used on This Project
TRUSS Portable Traffic Signals
Equipment
Replacing the need for traditional span wire, our three lane Truss Signals can be moved along with the progress of any complex intersections or phasing. Built to withstand any conditions, it’s a great choice for long-duration projects or when the permanent ITS equipment is not available.
Features & Integrations
- Comes standard with dual-traffic and work-zone-facing web cameras, redundant video and radar vehicle detection, and Street Smart’s app. These standard features make real-time video, programming, monitoring, and control of the signal system easy.
- Utilize our app to view signal status, traffic conditions, and immediately get support from our central monitoring team
Pedestal Pedestrian Crosswalk
Equipment
Used in conjunction with portable traffic signals within intersection construction projects, this portable system allows for protected pedestrian crossing. Controlled by push button actuation or via pre-programmed signal/ped phasing. The system operates exactly like a permanent, signalized pedestrian intersection. Quick and easy to deploy and powered by our rugged solar+ battery design.
Portable Traffic Signal FAQs
What Makes Street Smart Signals the Best on the Market?
Unlike standard temporary portable traffic signals that rely on a single form of wireless communication, Street Smart utilizes quad-redundant wireless communication—point-to-point radio, cellular, WiFi, and satellite. This ensures reliable communication anywhere, safely and efficiently managing traffic in work zones.
Can I Get a Video of My Work Zone?
Yes! Work zone-facing cameras are available as an option for all our signals. You can access real-time images and videos during the project, with recordings available upon request.
