Program Description

  Community/Transportation Safety

This program provides engineering studies and investigations that evaluate pedestrian and traffic operations and safety deficiencies. The studies and investigations identify the need for alternative pedestrian crossing signalization or beaconing; parking conflicts; streetlighting conditions, upgrades, and maintenance; additional traffic signing and pavement marking; and sight distance deficiencies on neighborhood streets, arterial roads, and major roadways. The program also installs and maintains traffic control devices along County roadways.
