Permitted Lane Closure System

(PLCS)

MS2 Permitted Lane Closure System (PLCS) is a cloud-based solution supporting the creation and publication of schedules governing the closure of lanes due to construction or other activities. While construction is necessary to maintain transportation infrastructure, it can be disruptive to traffic flow and directly affects the delivery of goods and services. Jurisdictions approach this problem in a variety of ways with the goal of defining and enforcing acceptable levels of traffic queuing and delay.

PLCS addresses agency needs for a flexible, easy-to-use, and accurate solution to mitigate construction impact on business and public transportation. It enables agencies to generate optimal lane closure schedules for construction projects using their own rule sets, industry standards (e.g., the Highway Capacity Manual), and traffic data stored in MS2 Traffic Count Database System (TCDS).
