Unit Code: CED609

Unit Name: Traffic Engineering

Description: Engineering Technicians will be assisting engineers in the study of traffic, design of traffic movements on roads and intersection that minimal conflict and accident occurrence. Safety is foremost therefore increase in volume and vehicular type is to be factored in to the design. Road signing on road side and on the road are as important for controlling vehicles. Intersection congestion is to be resolved with road markings, roundabouts and traffic lighting according to safety demands. This course will enable you to understand the following aspects of traffic engineering: Types of traffic and their demands, Traffic and parking surveys, Travel demands and capacity analysis, Traffic signing and marking, Traffic management and control, Intersection traffic management, Road safety and traffic calming, Public Transportation Priority and Parking.
