Lane Closure + Detour Plans

Lane Closure & Detour Plans are required when construction or maintenance activities temporarily restrict traffic flow on public streets. Public Ready prepares clear, agency-ready plans that outline lane closures, detour routing, signage placement concepts, and coordination considerations to support permit approval and safe project execution.

Our plans are developed to align with city, county, and state agency expectations and are commonly required for lane closures associated with construction, utilities, staging, crane operations, and long-duration work zones.

WHAT THIS SERVICE INCLUDES

  • Lane closure layout planning (single-lane, multi-lane, or rolling closures)
  • Detour route identification and mapping
  • Traffic flow continuity considerations
  • Pedestrian and ADA routing concepts (where applicable)
  • Coordination-ready documentation for agency review

WHEN THIS SERVICE IS REQUIRED

  • Roadway construction or maintenance
  • Utility installations and repairs
  • Crane, boom lift, or boom pump operations
  • Long-duration or multi-phase projects
  • Projects requiring coordination with LADOT, TCTMC, Caltrans, or local agencies

Our Role

Important: Public Ready provides planning, drafting, and coordination services only. We do not provide general work-zone traffic-control labor, cones, barricades, or flagging operations. Public Ready supplies and posts Temporary No Parking signs when required, including when the governing city or agency does not post them. Public Ready removes only the signs Public Ready posted. Posting follows applicable agency requirements and the agreed project scope. Final approval authority remains solely with the governing agency.

Get in Touch

Public Ready provides planning, documentation, and coordination support only. Field labor (cones, barricades, flagging, equipment placement), enforcement, towing, and agency approvals are performed or issued by downstream parties and authorities. Requirements and review standards vary by jurisdiction and project conditions.

NEXT STEPS FOR YOUR PROJECT

A CLEARER STARTING POINT

What does a traffic control plan communicate?

A traffic control plan describes how the work footprint and movement of vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles fit together during a temporary activity. It may show signs and devices, lane restrictions, pedestrian routing, access, and phases. A drawing is not itself a permit or proof of agency approval.

Construction, utility work, deliveries, and equipment operations can change normal public access. The location, work conditions, and reviewing agency determine the planning and review needed.

How Public Ready helps

Public Ready prepares site-specific planning documents and coordinates review comments and engineering review when required within the agreed scope.
