Why agencies source wrong-way equipment from TCC
Sensors for tough sites
Choose radar, lidar, video, loop or infrared detection. We help you match the sensor to the lanes, mounting and power you already have.
Warnings drivers react to
Activated LED beacons, LED embedded signs, RRFB light bars and dynamic message signs put the alert right where the driver is looking.
Know when something fails
The Applied Information Glance platform sends text and email alerts for power, battery and lamp failures, so problems get fixed early.
See what happened
Add PTZ traffic surveillance cameras and wireless or fiber links to get video and data back to your traffic management center.
One source, 40+ manufacturers
Sensors, signs, cabinets, backup power and communications come from one distributor with a multi-million dollar inventory in Woodridge, IL.
Local help after the sale
Factory-trained field service staff provide onsite troubleshooting, installation, maintenance plans and product training.
What goes into a wrong-way detection setup
A wrong-way alert starts with detection, then adds a warning device and a way to tell your staff. Traffic Control Corporation distributes each of those pieces from over 40 manufacturers and helps you pick the right combination for your site.
We are a distributor and service provider, not a manufacturer. Tell us the road type, lane count, power source and how you want to be notified, and we will quote the sensors, signs and communications that fit.

Frequently asked questions
Do you sell a ready-made wrong-way detection system?
Traffic Control Corporation is a distributor, not a manufacturer. We supply the detection sensors, activated beacons, LED and message signs, cameras, communications and backup power used in wrong-way detection setups, and we help you select products for your site.
What does it cost?
Pricing is available on request. Cost depends on the sensors, signs, power and communications your site needs. Send us the site details and we will put together a quote.
Do you cover my state?
We serve Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin, with offices in Woodridge IL, Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota and Iowa.
Can the warning signs work without grid power?
Yes. JSF Technologies beacons and LED embedded signs are offered with solar power or AC power with battery back-up, so remote ramps and rural roads can still be covered.
How do we know if a beacon or sensor stops working?
The Applied Information Glance platform monitors AC voltage, battery back-up and solar charge voltage, and sends text and email alerts for power and lamp failures. Schedules can also be changed remotely.
Can you help with installation and training?
Yes. TCC provides onsite troubleshooting, installation, maintenance and service plans, product and systems training, and custom software development through our factory-trained staff.
