Traffic Safety Manitoba is now taking applications for our 2010 Workshop
Series. We will be offering both our TRAFFIC CONTROL WORKSHOP
and our new TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CONTROL IN WORK AREAS
WORKSHOP. Both 1 day Workshops will be offered on-site or at pre-
selected locations throughout the year.DOWNLOAD WORKSHOP BROCHURE
In addition to in-class training, participants will obtain "hands-on"
experience installing traffic control devices and temporary traffic control.
This is an opportunity to gain the knowledge and insight in the
installation of traffic control devices and signs in accordance to the
“Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada”; which was
adopted in the Highway Traffic Act as a statutory requirement for
installing traffic control and signs in Manitoba. Participants will obtain a
basic understanding of implementing temporary signs and barricades in
construction zones on or near roadways in both in rural and urban
environment and be able to review temporary traffic control set-ups by
private contractors undertaking roadway or utility works within the
roadway right-of-way. The Workshops are presented by our experts with
thirty years of experience in temporary traffic control. We encourage all
"new" or existing public works personnel to attend.
If interested in holding one or both Workshops in your R.M.or town,village
or city, contact us to set a date. There is a minimum number of
participants required for each workshop. Go to "WORKSHOPS" on the
main menu.
