Traffic Control Devices:

Civil engineers have responsibility for maintaining traffic
lights, overseeing the accident recording procedures, striping centerlines,
and gathering traffic data; all this from a plan designed by
a traffic engineer. You will be required to know about those tasks
because you'll be asked to assist. Learn what it costs to do those
jobs so that you can write realistic estimates when the civil is
away. Be aware of traffic hazards and report them immediately!
We all have responsibility for safety.
