Trees, shrubs, and other vegetation alongside highways and roadways can compromise safety for everyone passing through or working alongside highways and roadways. That’s why roadway management officials and transportation companies invest in vegetation maintenance.
Vegetation management companies work with traffic management companies like Bird Dog Traffic Control to ensure the work is completed as safely as possible and is supported by the proper equipment.
The hazards vegetation can cause
If left uncontrolled, vegetation such as those mentioned below present a range of safety concerns:
- Trees (especially those with hanging limbs or getting ready to fall) can become fixed object hazards for drivers passing through.
- Tallgrass, weeds, and other brush can obscure or limit drivers’ views of temporary hazards such as traffic control devices, other vehicles, wildlife, and pedestrians.
- Overgrown vegetation can prevent drivers and passersby from being able to clearly see traffic signs or make adjustments to traffic patterns.
- Trees and other vegetation can also put roadway construction at risk due to a lack of visibility.
