Traffic Engineering

Simmons & White's traffic engineering solutions help our clients address traffic planning, design and control issues. Our services minimize congestion, improve street and highway safety, optimize property access and egress, accommodate pedestrians and vehicle traffic, and combine mobility with aesthetics.

We address our client's traffic management challenges with traffic signal designs and traffic impact study projects, including developments of regional impact (DRI) that reduce the infrastructure improvement costs with signalization, improved parking layouts and better security. We work in the early planning stages of projects, through the design and construction phases, and during agency coordination and public involvement. These services are often done in collaboration with our civil engineering services.

Our traffic engineering expertise allows us to develop creative methodologies, which often result in approved alternative solutions to governing agency requests for improvements, potential reductions in impact and review fees, thereby providing our clients with cost savings.

At Simmons & White, Inc., we pride ourselves on delivering cost-effective, reliable solutions for all aspects of site development, civil engineering, traffic engineering and construction services to meet our client's needs.

As experts in site development and the development process, Simmons & White provides an informed analysis of the critical elements of development in the ever-changing regulations of modern construction. We evaluate key criteria of potential sites, including traffic and roadway access, flood protection, environmental concerns, drainage,utility availability and agency approvals. Our coordination with the client and the client's architect, landscape architects and other specialty consultants provides economical and site specific infrastructure solutions.

PROJECTS

CORRIDOR & FEASIBILITY STUDIES give the big picture of traffic conditions by considering elements like intersections, right-of-way conditions and traffic volumes.

OPERATIONAL & CAPACITY ANALYSIS studies provide understanding needed for planning and design of new or expanding projects that will increase traffic volumes or modify traffic and pedestrian patterns. Our studies have shown how to configure street cross-sections and intersections for optimal mobility and safety during road widening, how a hospital could maximize garage capacity in a dense campus and how comprehensive improvements can address future development.

SIGNALIZATION designs for intersection traffic control to optimize signal timing to improve traffic flow and improve safety.

SIGNING, PAVEMENT MARKING, DELINEATION & LIGHTING designs have enhanced widening and utility improvements, traffic management & streetscape improvement programs.

TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDIES give agencies a comprehensive determination of impacts from new developments.
