Traffic Engineering Programs

The City's Traffic Engineering Division is responsible for the safe and efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians on the public right-of-ways in Colorado Springs. This Division responds to the complex and growing needs of the City's infrastructure systems by planning, improving and maintaining traffic control to ensure safety and efficiency. Traffic Engineering consists of four sections:

Traffic Management is responsible for the investigation, evaluation and design of the City's traffic control devices, such as roundabouts, and oversees the School Safety Program and issuance of traffic control permits.

Traffic Signal Construction and Maintenance is responsible for signalized intersection, pedestrian signals and school flashers in the City of Colorado Springs.

Traffic Operations is responsible for traffic signal timing, traffic signal coordination and the Intelligent Transportation System and oversees the City's traffic cameras.

Signs and Markings is responsible for the installation and maintenance of traffic signs and markings, such as crosswalks and bike lanes, on the City's roadways and oversees the Signs for Life program.
