Which job duties appear in relevant job postings, and how often? What are the requirements for a traffic engineer position?

Planning and Design, as well as Traffic Modeling and Analysis:

• Traffic engineers plan and design traffic systems, roads, intersections, roundabouts, and other traffic-related projects.
• Using software and mathematical models, they analyze traffic patterns to forecast future traffic demands.

Road safety assessment, conducting field studies, and reporting and documentation:

• They evaluate roads, intersections, and other traffic areas to improve safety and reduce accidents.
• Sometimes traffic engineers have to go out into the field to conduct traffic counts, speed measurements, or other surveys.
• Writing reports and giving presentations are also common requirements.

Public Engagement and Communication: Transportation engineers may also meet with the public and other stakeholders to gather feedback on projects and provide information.
