Research & development
Preparation of a professional opinion is required when traffic questions arise which lack clear answers and require a professional’s intervention to examine and refine issues, integrate documents, cross-reference information, evaluate precedents and present alternatives and/or recommendations. In order to draw up the professional opinion, it is necessary to collect information that includes approved (statutory) plans, […]
Parking standards and policy documents
Traffic and transportation design is based on the Planning and Building Act, on regulations and on guidelines. However, some design issues lack set standards, and thus a municipality or local authority may seek to establish policies and guidelines for design. To write policy documents, the first stage involves research work and study of the existing […]
Temporary traffic arrangements
Every driver is familiar with the orange markings, flashing-arrow trailers and black and orange traffic signs that temporarily regulate traffic on urban and intercity roads.
