TRAFFIC SERVICES
BGE’s traffic engineering professionals use innovative techniques to achieve the safe and efficient movement of people and goods for both our public and private clients. We solve operational, capacity and safety issues through studies, analysis, and design.
Many of our traffic professionals are registered Professional Traffic Operations Engineers (PTOE) and Roadway Safety Professionals (RSP). This enhances our ability to apply a comprehensive knowledge of technology and scientific principles for in the analysis of traffic operations, the detection of problems and deficiencies, and the development of improvements in operations and safety through geometric design or traffic control.
