DESIGNED TO MEET YOUR TRAFFIC CONTROL NEEDS
At Wright, we understand that the safety and efficiency of your project depend heavily on effective traffic control. That's why we're committed to continuously improving our technology to stay ahead of the curve. Our flagship innovation, the Guardian SmartFlagger (GSF), sets a new standard in traffic control flaggers. This cutting-edge automated flagger assistance device (AFAD) is designed to take flaggers out of harm's way while enhancing the flow of traffic and reducing the risks associated with manual flagging.
The Guardian SmartFlagger is fully controlled from within the work zone, offering a safer environment for both workers and drivers.

WHY CHOOSE THE GUARDIAN SMARTFLAGGER (AFAD) FOR YOUR PROJECT?
WORK ZONE CRASHES
Work zone crashes are a significant concern in traffic control, often leading to serious injuries and costly delays. Using the Guardian SmartFlagger can dramatically reduce the potential for accidents. With the automated flagger assistance device, there is less human interaction at the point of traffic control, meaning fewer opportunities for flagger error or distraction. This technology places a traffic control flagger in a much safer position, far removed from the danger zone, while still providing effective traffic management.
IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW
Nothing frustrates drivers more than unexpected delays. The Guardian SmartFlagger diverts traffic away from congested areas through advanced Google Maps and Waze integration, potentially redirecting up to 25% of passing vehicles. You'll experience fewer slowdowns and smoother overall progress by relieving bottlenecks around the worksite. For large-scale projects, this kind of real-time re-routing can make a measurable impact on daily productivity.
FASTER RESPONSES
Emergencies on the road can escalate quickly, and rapid response is crucial. Because this AFAD flagger is operated from a centralized location within the work zone, our crews receive immediate alerts when a vehicle intrudes or fails to comply with instructions. The automated flagging device includes an 8' detachable gate arm and a 120 dB alarm that instantly warns our work zone team, allowing them to react faster than ever. This built-in agility protects everyone involved and helps reduce costly downtime that can occur when incidents go unaddressed.
REDUCE LIABILITY
Another key benefit of the Guardian SmartFlagger is its ability to reduce liability. Built with two 360-degree HD cameras, it offers comprehensive video surveillance, allowing for precise and reliable visual coverage of your work zone. This feature helps confirm compliance from motorists, provides a clear record of incidents, and reduces the "he said, she said" scenarios that often arise after road-related conflicts. When you choose Wright, you're not just hiring traffic control flaggers—you're choosing a data-driven partner committed to minimizing risk on every level.
