Traffic engineering is a branch of civil
engineering dedicated to ensuring the safe, efficient, and rapid movement of
people and goods on our road systems. The primary goal of traffic engineering
is to reduce congestion and minimize accidents by scientifically
analyzing and managing how people, vehicles, and goods interact with the
physical infrastructure. Traffic engineers work on both existing roads and the
design of new ones, applying a problem-solving approach to transportation
challenges. It focuses on optimizing traffic flow, minimizing congestion,
reducing crashes, and improving overall transportation system performance.
