Who is the Worksite Traffic Supervisor (WTS) typically?

• A. A Random Visitor To The Construction Site.
• B. The City Traffic Engineer.
• C. An Independent Contractor Unrelated To TTC.
• D. A Foreman Or Crew Member With Intermediate Or Advanced Traffic Control Training (TTC), May Not Be A Full-Time Job Except On Large Projects.

Answer: (D)

The person who typically serves as the Worksite Traffic Supervisor is someone on the job site who has intermediate or advanced Traffic Control Training (TTC) and is responsible for overseeing the traffic control operations. This is usually a foreman or a crew member who directly supervises how work zones are set up, maintained, and adjusted. Their TTC knowledge lets them ensure the traffic control plan is implemented correctly, that devices and signs are in the right places, and that both workers and motorists stay safe. On smaller projects this role might not be full-time, but on large projects it’s a dedicated, full-time position.

A random visitor wouldn’t have the required training or authority to supervise traffic control. The city traffic engineer generally handles planning and design-level traffic concerns, not on-site supervision. An independent contractor not connected to TTC wouldn’t have the necessary TTC credentials or authority to manage worksite traffic control.
