Houston, TX – In a city as busy as Houston, closing a lane means more than setting up cones. Road workers face real danger from distracted or speeding drivers. Regional Traffic Services is helping protect those crews with its dedicated fleet of crash trucks and TMA trucks rentals, which are available day or night across the metro area.
Unlike passive barriers, these trucks are built to absorb high-speed impacts and redirect vehicles away from active work zones. They serve as a moving line of defense between traffic and workers on the ground.
Focused on Work Zone Safety
Every TMA truck in the fleet is equipped with an approved attenuator, flashing lights, and a rear arrow panel. Trucks meet the state Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications and are frequently inspected for mechanical integrity and readiness.
“They’re not just trucks - they’re shields,” says Stan Navratil, CEO of Regional Traffic Services. “Every one of them is on the road to save lives.”
From road milling and asphalt work to utility maintenance and bridge inspections, these vehicles help create controlled environments in unpredictable traffic conditions.
Emergency Response, No Delays
Houston’s roads don’t stop - not during overnight paving, holiday traffic, or after a sudden storm. Regional Traffic Services maintains standby units and promptly dispatches crash trucks to emergency scenes. This includes freeway shutdowns, flooding repairs, or vehicle recovery operations where crews are exposed.
“Response time can’t wait until morning,” Navratil says. “We’ve structured our operations to move fast, any hour.”
Designed for Flexibility
Clients can reserve trucks by shift, day, or month - no long-term contracts are required. Whether it’s a city crew performing drainage work or a private contractor resurfacing a multi-lane highway, Regional Traffic Services adjusts to meet the job's size and timeline.
TMA trucks are delivered with all necessary signage and equipment. RTS field supervisors can assist clients unfamiliar with placement or spacing by guiding them in positioning and ensuring compliance.
Backed by Local Experience
Houston is home to complex road systems - from crowded urban corridors to fast-moving tollways. Knowing where and how to set up safely takes local experience. Regional Traffic Services has supported projects on US-59, Loop 610, SH 288, and dozens of city-managed sites.
Navratil adds, “This isn’t a one-size-fits-all service. We know Houston’s traffic habits and adjust our support based on that knowledge.”
Built to Last
The goal is always to prevent crashes, but when one occurs, the truck must do its job. RTS trucks are fitted with attenuators that meet industry crash-test standards, helping reduce injury or worse when accidents happen in the work zone.
