The Traffic Control Management (TCM) course covers topics which the supervisor, inspector, project manager or traffic manager on site will need starting out in the field, including multiple tapers, design concepts, inspection, legal Issues, and many others. The course is designed to train those who will be actively involved in designing or setting up and maintaining temporary traffic control in a work zone. It moves from the concepts and techniques taught in the Traffic Control Specialist (TCS) course to the implementation of traffic control plans and techniques for installation and removal. Students are taught how to read and interpret plans and specifications and implement them in the field. Workshops included in the course are designed to provide real world examples in designing temporary traffic control setups and also recognizing, analyzing and correcting deficiencies. An additional, vital objective of this course is teaching students the skills necessary to become an effective manager, capable of leading a team in the field.
