Mohave County Traffic Control Striping on Shinarump Rd
Street Sign Colors
Our Mission
To ensure the safe and efficient movement of persons and goods throughout the Mohave County road network.
Services and Scope of Operations
We are responsible for installing and maintaining traffic signs throughout Mohave County. The Division currently maintains approximately 31,000 traffic control devices including regulatory signs, warning signs, guide and street name signs. All of the traffic signs used by the Division are manufactured at the Kingman facility. Signs are manufactured by applying plotter cut vinyl sheeting from a computer based graphic design system. The Division also designs and fabricates the seals, decals, emblems, and Sheriff Stars used by other County Departments and Government agencies.
The Division's special markings team is responsible for centerline striping, edge line striping, crosswalk markings, stop line markings, and other special pavement markings. The Division utilizes a lead free/water based traffic paint. This product is not only environmentally safe, but safe for the personnel involved in the application. Highway safety spheres (glass beads) are imbedded into the wet traffic paint as it is applied. This process provides marking reflectivity for night time driving conditions. Crosswalk markings and stop line markings are installed by torch-fusing thermoplastic to the roadway surface. The division currently applies approximately 22,000 gallons of traffic paint each year on Mohave County roadways and maintains approximately 960 special markings.

The Mohave County Traffic Safety Committee consists of representatives from the Sheriff's Office, County Attorney, Risk Management, and Public Works. The purpose of the committee is to review requests for traffic control devices (i.e.; stop signs, speed limit signs, etc.). Engineering studies are then performed, in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and recommendations are reported back to the committee. All regulatory sign recommendations made by the committee are then forwarded to the Mohave County Board of Supervisors for approval.
The Traffic Control Division crews are all American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) certified flaggers and are responsible for flagging and setting up work zones. Find out more about ATSSA.
