Why traffic control and barricade operators switch to Traffic OS
FieldEdge is built for a different shape of business than traffic control. These are the gaps operators most often cite.
- →Custom-quote pricing typically starts at ~$100/user/mo — expensive at crew scale
- →Built for residential service-call workflows, not multi-day work-zone operations
- →No MUTCD ticket flow, no GPS-stamped customer signature, no crew calendar
- →Onboarding is consultant-led and slow (weeks, not days)
How to migrate from FieldEdge to Traffic OS
