What is a road lockoff or ITC (Intermittent Traffic Control)?
Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars
A road lockoff or ITC (Intermittent Traffic Control) is a permitted, coordinated road closure or traffic management plan that allows picture car sequences to be filmed safely on public streets.
A lockoff requires coordination with local law enforcement and traffic authorities, production-employed traffic control personnel, approved traffic management plans, and often community notification. ITC is used when a full closure is not practical holding civilian traffic at intervals to allow picture cars through during takes before reopening the road between shots.
