What is the difference between Traffic Safety Engineer vs Transportation Planner?

AspectTraffic Safety EngineerTransportation Planner
Required CredentialsBachelor's in engineering, certifications in traffic safetyBachelor's in urban planning or related field, certifications in transportation planning
Work EnvironmentDesigning safety measures, analyzing accident data, field inspectionsDeveloping transportation projects, analyzing mobility patterns, policy planning
Employer & IndustryGovernment agencies, traffic safety organizationsMunicipalities, urban planning firms, transportation departments

Traffic Safety Engineers focus on designing and implementing safety measures to reduce accidents, while Transportation Planners develop comprehensive transportation systems and policies. Both roles often collaborate but serve different primary functions within the transportation industry.

What are Traffic Safety Engineers?

Traffic Safety Engineers are professionals who design, analyze, and implement measures to improve the safety and efficiency of transportation systems. They work on roadways, intersections, and other transportation infrastructure, using data and engineering principles to reduce accidents and enhance traffic flow. Their responsibilities include conducting safety studies, recommending improvements, and collaborating with government agencies to ensure roads are safe for all users.

What are some common challenges faced by Traffic Safety Engineers when implementing new safety measures in urban environments?

Traffic Safety Engineers often encounter challenges such as balancing the needs of different road users (drivers, cyclists, pedestrians), addressing budget constraints, and navigating regulatory approvals when implementing new safety measures. Urban environments can present additional complexities due to high traffic volumes, limited space, and the need for coordination with multiple city departments and stakeholders. Successful engineers frequently engage in data analysis, public outreach, and iterative design processes to ensure safety improvements are both effective and publicly accepted.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Traffic Safety Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Traffic Safety Engineer, you need a solid background in civil engineering, traffic analysis, and safety regulations, typically supported by a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and often a Professional Engineer (PE) license. Familiarity with traffic modeling software such as Synchro or VISSIM, and knowledge of MUTCD standards and AutoCAD, are commonly required. Strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills help in collaborating with stakeholders and presenting safety solutions effectively. These skills are vital for designing safe roadways and traffic systems that minimize accidents and enhance public safety.

Primary Function: 

The Traffic & Safety Engineer performs various tasks related to traffic studies, including preparing studies to identify engineering solutions to traffic operational and safety issues. The candidate should have knowledge of traffic analysis, transportation design concepts, principles, and theories, and a genuine desire to improve safety and mobility on our transportation system. The ideal candidate is also comfortable supporting or leading traffic operations design for one or more components, such as signalization, highway lighting, or signs and pavement markings. However, candidates without design experience are still encouraged to apply. Depending on level of experience, this position could be a Project Engineer, Project Manager, or Senior Project Manager. Work tasks will be performed with considerable independence. Our office follows a hybrid work structure where employees can work remotely some days as approved by the supervisor.

Primary Duties: 

  • Perform field reviews, conduct research, and collect and analyze traffic data for transportation projects.
  • Analyze crash data and identify appropriate countermeasures to improve safety and mobility for all road users
  • Analyze and interpret data from traffic modeling software, GIS, or associated databases
  • Use specialized traffic engineering computer software to conduct traffic operations and capacity analysis, such as HCS, Synchro, Sidra, and Corsim.
  • Prepare signal warrant studies, intersection analysis, corridor studies, traffic impact studies, and support PD&E studies
  • Attend public meetings and community workshops
  • Prepare cost estimates and financial justification for projects through benefit/cost and NPV analysis
  • Prepare detailed reports and documentation of the study methodology or design approach
  • Other tasks as assigned

Education and Experience Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET accredited program
  • Licensure as a Professional Engineer in the state of Florida or ability to obtain within 6 months.
  • 6+ years of experience in transportation engineering
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and experience with MicroStation
  • Understanding of Highway Capacity and Highway Safety concepts
  • Ability to effectively communicate technical information both verbally and in writing
  • Demonstrate flexibility and teamwork
  • Possess attention to detail, organizational and time management skills, and an interest in improving transportation safety for all modes of transportation

Preferred Qualifications

  • Produce design plans, such as signing and pavement marking, signalization, lighting, and ITS plans
  • PTOE or RSP Certification is a plus!
  • Experience working with the Central Florida Regional Planning Model (CFRPM) is a plus!
