North America Traffic's (NAT) newest distributor and service partnership, RoadSafe Traffic Systems Inc., based in Chicago, is one of the largest providers of traffic safety and pavement marking services and products in the United States.

“We could not be more excited and proud to announce our new partnership with a fellow industry leader,” said Jordan Sherlock, NAT general manager. “RoadSafe Traffic Systems has for many years been recognized and admired as the most complete traffic safety products and services provider in the United States. That was only enhanced late last year, when RoadSafe acquired our longtime multi-branch dealer, Protection Services Inc.”

This agreement with RoadSafe Traffic Systems will expand the availability and on-site placement of NAT portable traffic lights and automated flagger assistance devices (AFADs) across the United States.

“To be able to extend our relationship through the entire RoadSafe organization and its 50-plus branch locations nationwide, we are now able to provide greater access to our industry-leading traffic control devices for public agencies, utilities, railroads and private contractors alike,” said Sherlock.

“Regardless of where they are working in the country, all users of NAT traffic safety products will receive the complete product offering, service and solutions they need and deserve,” he said. “Having RoadSafe on the NAT team as a distributor and service provider is a critical part of that.”

“The two companies share the common belief that their products and services are, above all else, about making work zones safer,” said Gary Smith, national sales manager of RoadSafe Traffic Systems Inc.

“We've long had great respect for the true safety innovation and vision that NAT founder Peter Vieveen brought to the marketplace,” said Smith. “With the recent PSI acquisition, we were able to get even more familiar with the engineering, production and quality control capabilities behind the NAT product line. It's a really good fit all around.”

RoadSafe Traffic Systems Inc. in a Nov. 1, 2016, announcement, acquired PSI and added more than 20 locations and hundreds of experienced employees into its existing branch network of more than 30 locations.

“RoadSafe's nationwide network of over 50 branches and numerous satellite locations will allow us to deliver a comprehensive traffic safety program for all customer projects coast-to-coast,” said David Meirick, CEO and president.

In addition to a full range of traffic safety products for industries ranging from DOTs and utilities to private highway contractors and railroads, RoadSafe provides an extensive array of services including portable traffic control and protection, pavement marking and removal, road sign manufacturing and installation, as well as special event crowd control either on a long term or daily rental basis.
