Traffic Engineering

Traffic Management Plans and Studies
Boulevard Transportation Group excels at developing a broad range of traffic management plans including plans for neighbourhoods, communities, special events and road construction projects. Our services include detailed and accurate drawings illustrating the latest in traffic calming techniques, signal timing, standard sign designations, sign spacing, taper lengths, advanced warnings as well as written descriptions detailing the processes, drawings and responsibilities with respect to safe traffic management. We also specialize in Traffic Impact Assessments for new developments, re-developments and rezoning applications. Boulevard Transportation Group staff utilize the latest simulation software, such as the Highway Capacity Software, to determine future traffic impacts and to make recommendations for facility improvements and parking needs when warranted.

Corridor Studies
The Boulevard Transportation Group team has effectively undertaken a number of corridor studies including road safety audits and in consideration of all modes of travel, access management, and signal coordination.

Intersections
Boulevard Transportation Group staff understand that the greatest number of traffic accidents occur at intersections. We offer optimizing services for capacity and safety, and signal system analysis to determine whether existing or proposed signals are appropriate.

Roundabouts
Roundabouts and traffic circles are experiencing a revival not only for their aesthetic and pleasing contribution to streetscapes, but, also for the safety improvements they bring to an intersection. Building on standard intersection analysis and integrating extensive hands-on traffic expertise, we can determine the suitability of a roundabout or traffic circle at an intersection versus the installation of a stop sign controlled or signal design.

Cycling and Pedestrian Facilities
Increasingly, traffic operations include designing facilities for alternative modes of travel. Boulevard Transportation Group offers technical expertise in areas such as assessing crosswalk warrants and pedestrian safety audit analysis, as well as proven advice in retrofitting facilities in awkward or restrictive corridors.
