TMA Truck Rentals by Regional Traffic Services Shield Austin's Roadside Crews

Austin, TX – With Austin's relentless growth straining infrastructure, work crews are a constant presence on high-speed corridors like I-35 and MoPac. To mitigate the risks these workers face, Regional Traffic Services provides a critical line of defense. The deployment of a TMA truck creates a physical buffer zone, an essential measure to prevent vehicle intrusions into active work areas and protect lives.

"The speed on Austin highways leaves zero room for error," says Stan Navratil, CEO of Regional Traffic Services. "Our mission is to provide a literal shield for work crews, giving them the secure space they need to build and maintain the city's infrastructure."

The Engineering Behind Roadside Protection

A truck-mounted attenuator is an advanced safety system designed to manage the physics of a collision. In the event of an impact, the attenuator's cushion absorbs and dissipates the kinetic energy, slowing the errant vehicle at a controlled rate.

This process is engineered to reduce the G-forces experienced by the driver of the impacting vehicle while simultaneously preventing a breach into the protected space behind the truck.

"A TMA isn't just a barrier; it's a shock absorber on a massive scale," explains Navratil. "The entire design is about controlling the forces of a collision to protect the people on both sides of it."

Versatile Applications for a Growing City

The need for this level of protection extends beyond major highway construction. Renting a truck-mounted attenuator provides a practical and cost-effective safety solution for projects of any duration or scale across Austin.

This equipment is vital for securing work zones during:

Major Corridor Projects: Long-term lane closures and mobile operations on interstates.
Municipal Maintenance: Short-term utility repairs, pothole patching, and line painting on city roads.
Roadside Services: Landscaping, mowing, and debris cleanup activities along active roadways.
Emergency Situations: Shielding first responders and crews at incident scenes.

Around-the-Clock Support for Austin's Demanding Schedules

Recognizing that Austin's work doesn't stop at 5 PM, Regional Traffic Services provides around-the-clock logistical support. As a dedicated local partner, the company focuses on immediate problem-solving. If a project's needs change or an unexpected situation arises, the team is prepared to deploy a TMA truck at a moment's notice, ensuring no work zone goes unprotected.

"A project manager needs an immediate logistical partner, not just a piece of equipment," adds Stan Navratil. "Our team is structured to be that resource for Austin, ready to secure a site no matter the hour."
