Roadworks & Traffic Control

Roadworks and traffic control are high-risk environments that are dependent on effective communications. Entry-level handheld radios are popular for roadworks and traffic management sites given the low upfront cost and no ongoing licencing fees. However, these upfront benefits can often be outweighed by expensive replacement costs and interference on the desired UHF CB/PRS channel.
