U.S. Traffic Corp., which operates two manufacturing facilities in Santa Fe Springs, Calif., and Tecate, Mexico, produces inductive loop detectors, conflict monitors, controllers, traffic control cabinets, traffic and pedestrian signals, portable and fixed variable message signs, radar speed displays and internally illuminated street signage.
