Traffic Management & Engineering
The Traffic Management and Engineering Program manages Boston’s transportation network to provide safe, efficient travel throughout the City. This is accomplished through maintenance of traffic signal timings using the City’s computerized traffic signal system; design and review of new/upgraded traffic signal installations; review of proposed roadway and transit projects, review and approval of private development plans; licensing of on-street construction; permitting of special events; review and modification of existing parking rules and regulations; and working with neighborhood groups to improve traffic and pedestrian safety on residential streets.
