Traffic Control Plan Design (TCP)
AccuPermit is the D.C. metro area’s traffic control expert. We specialize in strategically creating Traffic Control Plans (TCPs), also commonly referred to as Maintenance-of-Traffic (MOT) Plans. These plans are vital for a smooth-flowing traffic and for the safety of people and construction sites surrounding the area by using methods like flagging, lane closures, road closures, and more.
Our customized Temporary Traffic Control (TCP) and Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plans protect workers, pedestrians, and drivers while meeting all agency requirements. Ensure your construction or utility project keeps traffic moving safely and stays fully compliant.
Our team prepares plans for D.C., Maryland, and Virginia projects. We provide regional and national support, so your work zone is safe, efficient, and permit-ready from day one.
Strategic Traffic Control Design: Our Step-by-Step Process
Our traffic control plan services are customized to each project’s needs. Here’s a look at our TCP/MOT plan workflow process.
Step 1: Project Assessment
- Review site conditions, project scope, and traffic patterns.
- Identify potential hazards for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Step 2: Plan Development
- Create a site-specific Temporary Traffic Control (TCP) or Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan.
- Include lane shifts, signage, detours, barriers, and pedestrian routes.

Step 3: Regulatory Compliance Check
- Ensure the plan meets MUTCD standards and local requirements (DDOT, VDOT, MD SHA).
- Incorporate any agency-specific guidelines for lane closures or road work.

Step 4: Permit-Ready Documentation
- Prepare all drawings, forms, and supporting documents for permit submission.
- Coordinate with agency reviewers to reduce back-and-forth.
