Montgomery City County Personnel

A08

The fundamental reason this classification exists is to perform professional engineering work in the conduct and maintenance of traffic engineering surveys and projects.  Primary work responsibilities may include: designing plans of and inspecting construction of subdivisions and commercial developments, roadways, and plats; inspecting plans and construction for traffic operations compliance; coordinating and inspecting traffic operations projects; performing traffic engineering studies; designing construction plans for transportation improvement and safety projects; conducting field observation surveys of traffic conditions; and conducting field observations of traffic control devices.  The Traffic Engineer I is distinguished from the Traffic Engineer II in that the level and scope of responsibility exercised by the Traffic Engineer I is less advanced than that of the Traffic Engineer II.  The Traffic Engineer I performs work independently and may advise and direct lower-level technical employees.  Traffic Engineer I incumbents report to the Traffic Engineer II.
