In today’s fast-moving world, managing traffic safely and efficiently is more important than ever. Whether you're overseeing a busy road construction project, managing pedestrian safety at an event, or improving flow near a school or sports venue, clear and effective traffic signage is essential. That’s where the PTL 2.4X Dual Head Traffic Signal comes in.

At Barricade Traffic Services, we’re proud to offer the industry-leading PTL 2.4X — a wireless, solar-powered, portable traffic signal system built for modern traffic control challenges. As one of Canada’s top traffic control companies, we offer flexible rent or buy options and full support to ensure your setup is reliable, safe, and compliant.

The PTL 2.4X Dual Head is a portable traffic signal designed to replace flaggers or manual stop/slow paddles in temporary work zones and events. It features two LED heads mounted on a durable trailer system. The signals are controlled wirelessly, and the units are powered by solar-charged batteries, making them perfect for remote or long-term jobs.

This smart traffic signal offers high visibility in all conditions, from bright daylight to dark, rainy evenings. The wireless connection allows two units to work in sync — one at each end of a traffic zone — so drivers and pedestrians clearly know when to stop and when to go.

Built with convenience and safety in mind, the PTL 2.4X helps reduce labour costs and improves safety for workers on the ground. Instead of relying on people to manually direct traffic, you can trust these high-tech traffic signals to do the job — 24/7.

The PTL 2.4X isn’t just for highways. Its flexibility makes it the perfect solution for traffic control in many different environments. Whether you're running a construction site, organizing a concert, hosting a sports tournament, or managing road access for a community event, this portable signal offers the reliability and clarity you need.

Let’s explore some of the most common and effective use cases:

Construction is where the PTL 2.4X truly shines. Traditional flaggers are exposed to live traffic, making their jobs dangerous and exhausting. With this traffic signal, you can automate traffic flow in single-lane closures or alternating traffic scenarios, minimizing human risk.

The dual-head design communicates clearly with drivers on both sides of a work zone. Its portability makes it ideal for short-term projects, emergency repairs, or long-term infrastructure upgrades. You can move it as your project advances, and thanks to solar power, there's no need for external electricity or frequent battery swaps.

At Barricade Traffic Services, we often supply this unit to road crews across Canada because it’s reliable, compliant with safety regulations, and proven to reduce on-site incidents. It’s a smarter, safer way to manage traffic through active work zones.

During outdoor events, streets often need to be partially closed or redirected. Whether it’s a city-wide festival, a farmer’s market, or a cultural parade, managing traffic in and out of the event area is crucial to keep attendees safe and ensure smooth flow.

The PTL 2.4X traffic signal allows event organizers to create temporary intersections or entry/exit zones without needing full road closures or a team of staff with signs. It clearly tells drivers when to wait and when to move forward, helping reduce the risk of accidents.

When combined with other traffic signage, the PTL 2.4X provides a complete solution for any event, big or small. Renting one from Barricade Traffic Services is a cost-effective way to keep your event safe and compliant with local regulations.

Concerts bring large crowds, many of whom arrive and leave around the same time. This can cause serious congestion, especially when parking areas or shuttle buses are involved. The PTL 2.4X is ideal for managing controlled access to venues or guiding vehicles in and out of limited roadways at night.

Thanks to its bright LED lights and weatherproof design, this signal performs perfectly after sunset or during poor weather. It keeps drivers informed and helps avoid confusion or collisions in dimly lit areas.

Whether it’s a downtown concert or an outdoor music festival, this traffic signal makes a big difference. You can pair it with message boards and directional traffic signage to build a complete traffic control plan for the night.

Game days attract thousands of fans, creating traffic surges that city streets or rural roadways aren’t designed to handle. With the PTL 2.4X, traffic can be guided into and out of parking lots or stadium access points with ease.

Instead of traffic officers waving cars through for hours, the automated signal handles flow consistently and safely. It can also help with pedestrian crossings, shuttle access, or team entrance control. Its wireless connectivity ensures both ends of the traffic line are in sync at all times.

From community soccer matches to national-level sporting events, these portable traffic signals are essential to improving safety and organization on busy days.

Schools often require temporary traffic control during events like open houses, graduations, or construction projects. When a regular school day overlaps with construction or road repairs, the PTL 2.4X helps guide parent vehicles, school buses, and pedestrian traffic safely through.

Because it's portable and solar-powered, the unit can be set up in minutes and doesn’t rely on external power sources. You can easily relocate it if the school zone layout changes or if more space is needed.

Many school boards and municipalities partner with traffic control companies like Barricade Traffic Services to bring safe, easy-to-use traffic signals into school environments as needed.

At Barricade Traffic Services, we offer both rental and purchase options for the PTL 2.4X. If you need the traffic signal for a one-time event, weekend road work, or a short construction contract, barricade rent is your best bet. You get top-tier equipment without worrying about storage or long-term costs.

If your organization handles frequent projects, permanent installations, or city contracts, buying your own unit can be more cost-effective over time. You’ll always have a reliable, portable signal on hand when needed.

Not sure what’s best for you? Our experienced team can help assess your traffic control needs and recommend the most efficient option.

We’re more than just a rental company. Barricade Traffic Services is one of Canada’s leading traffic control companies, trusted by municipalities, contractors, event planners, and transportation professionals across the country.
