San Antonio, TX – San Antonio's weather can be unpredictable and severe, with intense thunderstorms causing flash floods and extreme heat leading to road surface damage. These events often require emergency crews to perform immediate and dangerous repairs on active roadways.
To protect these essential workers, Regional Traffic Services provides rapid-deployment safety solutions, including the required crash truck, ensuring a secure work zone in even the most unpredictable conditions.
"When severe weather hits San Antonio, the first priority is to make the roads safe again," says Stan Navratil, CEO of Regional Traffic Services. "Our job is to protect the crews who are out there doing that dangerous work, often in the immediate aftermath of a storm when conditions are still hazardous."
An Essential Tool for Unplanned Road Work
The aftermath of a severe weather event leaves behind a host of urgent road hazards. A crash truck provides a mobile, heavy-duty barrier that is essential for protecting crews during these critical, unplanned repair operations, including:
- Emergency Pothole and Erosion Repair: Shielding workers who are fixing road surfaces damaged by flash flooding or buckling from extreme heat.
- Debris Cleanup and Removal: Creating a safe, visible zone for crews clearing fallen trees, debris, or stalled vehicles from roadways after a major storm.
- Utility Restoration Support: Protecting utility workers who must park on roadsides and in live lanes to repair downed power or communication lines.
"Our trucks are built to be self-sufficient," explains Navratil. "The solar power and battery backups mean they can be deployed to a storm-damaged area where the power is out and still function perfectly. That level of reliability is non-negotiable in an emergency situation."
Rapid Deployment for a Safer, Faster Recovery
A key component of effective emergency response is speed. The 24/7 readiness of the Regional Traffic Services team ensures that when a call comes in from a municipality or contractor after a storm, a crash truck can be dispatched immediately.
This rapid deployment allows repair crews to begin their work more quickly and safely, which in turn accelerates the recovery process for the entire community. By providing a secure environment, workers can focus on the task at hand without the constant threat of nearby traffic.
"We see ourselves as a support unit for San Antonio's first responders and public works teams," adds Stan Navratil. "By providing the best possible protection, we help them do their jobs more safely, which helps everyone get back to normal faster."
