Largest Deployment of Portable Traffic Signals
In August 2015, Street Smart Rental provided one of the largest deployments of Portable Traffic Signals in the country to date. The implementation included 38 portable traffic signals, video detection, turn signals, pre-emption devices, and other intelligent work zone equipment. The equipment deployed on the 75th Anniversary of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and involved both SD DOT and WY DOT. This video gives an inside look at what went on behind the scenes of this deployment.
Full-Size Portable Traffic Signal Options (SQ3)

Our larger, overhead, portable traffic signal systems combine fast, efficient set-up with reliable performance. Our portable traffic signals are a smart choice for a variety of short- and long-term traffic-control applications. From a simple one-lane bridge repair project to complete intersection control, our signals provide safe and efficient traffic control.
OPTIONS:
ADVANCED REMOTE MONITORING (ARM)
The ARM system sends text messages and email alerts, reporting signal status and operation. Battery voltage, signal location, and fault status report in real-time or on-demand from our dedicated monitoring website.
VIDEO DETECTION
Video actuation allows for the actual presence of vehicle detection via the creation of customized detection zones. This non-intrusive detection system is easily installed and does not require a PC for configuration.
EMERGENCY VEHICLE PREEMPTION
It provides the earliest possible safe green indication in the direction of approaching emergency vehicles — vehicle detection via either optical strobe light patterns or audible siren detection.
CABLED REMOTE
Easily place a call for green at either end of the work zone, or rest both signals of a 2-phase operation in red. Programmed red clearance intervals are always inserted between green indications, preventing the possibility of conflict.
WIRELESS REMOTE
With up to a 1/2 mile range, the wireless remote is the most convenient method of manual signal control. The built-in vibration function works as a confirmation of each button press, and the signals switch back to automatic mode with just one tap.
PILOT CAR
The Pilot Car (Flagger) module allows a pilot car driver to control a Horizon Signal System remotely via a handheld transmitter for simple, all-day operation.
WORK ZONE LUMINAIRE
The Work Zone Luminaire increases safety by illuminating the Horizon portable traffic signals and surrounding the work area during periods of low visibility. Photocell sensors automatically activate the light at dusk.
Small-Size Portable Traffic Signal Options (SQ2)

Our smaller, cart-style portable traffic signal systems are best for fast, efficient deployment without sacrificing quality or versatility. The operating system is software-based and conforms to NEMA standards. The smaller cart system is ideal for daily or short-term traffic control applications and provides increased work-zone safety while maximizing traffic flow.
OPTIONS:
ADVANCED REMOTE MONITORING (ARM)
The ARM system sends text messages and email alerts, reporting signal status and operation. Battery voltage, signal location, and fault status report in real-time or on-demand from our dedicated monitoring website.
TRANSPORT TRAILER
It provides convenient storage and portability for an entire set of SQ2 signals. The expanded storage means you can also store solar panels, outriggers, and other work zone gear along with your signal system.
SOLAR & OUTRIGGER PACKAGE
The addition of a 130-watt solar panel significantly increases the battery life of your SQ2 signal, while the outriggers allow for added cart stability on uneven surfaces.
RAMP METER SIGNAL
The Temporary Ramp Meter signal provides a quick, reliable solution to highway congestion. The system can be quickly deployed at any highway on-ramp to regulate the flow of traffic onto the highway and ease overall congestion.
CABLED REMOTE
Easily place a call for green at either end of the work zone, or rest both signals of a 2-phase operation in red. Programmed red clearance intervals are always inserted between green indications, preventing the possibility of conflict.
WIRELESS REMOTE
With up to a 1/2 mile range, the wireless remote is the most convenient method of manual signal control. The built-in vibration function works as a confirmation of each button press, and the signals switch back to automatic mode with just one tap.
PILOT CAR
The Pilot Car (Flagger) module allows a pilot car driver to control a Horizon Signal System remotely via a handheld transmitter for simple, all-day operation.
DRIVER ASSISTANCE DEVICE
Alerts motorists in residential driveways as to the direction of traffic flow in a one-lane bi-directional work zone. It helps to reduce the likelihood of wrong-way driving in work zones.
