The purpose of the traffic light is to ensure safer road crossing, as around 8000 cars drive on the Pärnu-Tori road every day. The traffic lights are also equipped with challenge buttons, which allows pedestrians to cross the road

Practitioners know that building infrastructure is not without surprises. But TRAFFEST is exactly the partner whose creativity and intelligence leads to the best possible solutions. The systems established by TRAFFEST are innovative and consider experience. For the most part, the innovativeness inside the systems cannot be seen with the naked eye, but for example, the outstanding “projection traffic sign” and “safelight” are first associated with TRAFFEST in Estonia.
Infrastructure and construction servicestransport specialist
TRAFFEST has been a long-term partner of Pärnu and has maintained the existing and constructed new traffic light systems in the city for over 20 years. Of their recent projects, the development of contemporary traffic light systems for the intersections of the Tallinna-Jannseni-Rääma and Papiniidu-Mai streets, where sensor based adaptive traffic lights programmes are used, is worth mentioning.
Another excellent example of the work TRAFFEST does is the system of traffic lights on the Pärnu bypass, where so-called coordinated “green wave” programmes are used during the day time. During periods of low traffic density, a sensor-managed traffic light programme, which gives priority to the road user that reaches the intersection first, is in use. The piloting of a prolonged green light for trucks is being tested for the first time in Estonia.
The professionals of their field that work at TRAFFEST are always ready to provide detailed and exhaustive traffic advice. The company responds promptly to emerging problems and always finds a solution to them.
Department of Communal ServicesTraffic Management Director
From 2006, when I started work for the Tartu City Government, Department of Communal Services, TRAFFEST has been a solid and reliable cooperation partner. Their partnership with the City of Tartu extends to over 25 years ago. TRAFFEST reacts operationally to traffic light faults and adjusts traffic light programmes according to changing traffic densities. They have also accepted new challenges; they built the first smart crosswalks in Tartu as well as traditional speed displays and traffic census systems that operate over the internet.
Project Manager
The construction of the Pärnu-Uulu 2+2 road section was an ambitious project and highly anticipated by road users. As the main contractor, it was important for us to ensure that all the road construction components – from the embankments to the traffic management – were completed to the highest quality and as smoothly as possible. This is where TRAFFEST became a valuable partner for us.
The TRAFFEST team was responsible for the traffic management design, providing modern and reliable solutions that met the strict requirements of the Transport Administration. Their professional and operational approach helped to ensure that the necessary solutions were well thought through and implemented accurately and efficiently. They worked smoothly with us – all the agreed work was carried out in a timely and professional manner.
The end result is a safer and smoother traffic flow that meets the expectations of both the client and the users. As a reliable and experienced partner, TRAFFEST made a clear contribution to the success of the project. We will certainly continue to work with them in the future!
ITS Development Manager,
SMART E67 Project Manager
TRAFFEST was our main ITS technology and software partner on the international ITS project, SMART E67 (2016-2019). During the project, TRAFFEST established, for the first time in Estonia, a section with adaptive weather-related speed limits (weather responsive traffic management) on the Tallinn-Pärnu-Ikla highway. Several signs with variable message displays and traffic information were also delivered, as well as other smart ITS solutions that work together systematically. TRAFFEST delivered, in the framework of the project, a traffic management system (central traffic management solution) and a hardware neutral central software solution, which is the platform for new additional variable speed highway sections, to the Road Administration traffic management centre (TMC). TRAFFEST has been a professional and reliable partner that realised a complex, high-quality ITS technical solution on time. TRAFFEST is a partner that specializes in the delivery of hardware and software, and is focused on finding solutions.
Department for Smart SolutionsProject Manager of Intelligent Transport Systems
TRAFFEST was our cooperation partner in the Smart E263/E77 (2021-2022) project, during which they installed various traffic signs with changing information, traffic cameras and traffic monitoring devices. In addition to reliability and professionalism, they always do a little more than we expect from them.
