| Traffic specialists deal
with a wide range of activities covering both the design of
projects and the operation of traffic-control devices on streets
and highways. They analyze traffic volume and accident
data to determine the need for changes to the highway system.
They also design all traffic control plans for construction
projects.
Traffic studies specialists review and analyze
traffic control problems and make field inspections to observe
traffic operations. They assist in signing, striping, and
signal and lighting operations, to manage traffic flow and
alleviate congestion. Traffic specialists work with traffic-signal
timings, speed limits, sign replacement, and safety analysis
in spot locations. Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS) are an exciting and emerging arena for traffic specialists. All of Missouri's metropolitan areas have an extensive ITS
program.
