1. What Is Traffic ?
Traffic is that phase of engineering that deals with the planning, geometric
design and traffic operations of roads. Typical traffic engineering projects
involve designing traffic control device installations and modifications,
including traffic signals, signs, and pavement markings. However, traffic
engineers also consider traffic safety by investigating location with high
crash rates and developing counter measures to reduce crashes. It
focuses mainly on research for safe and effient traffic slow, such as road
geometry , sidewalk and crosswalks, segregated cycle facilities, shared
lane making, traffic signs, road surface markings and traffic lights.
