I switched to Civil Engineer to become a traffic engineer, but I just switched back to ME so I can go to medical school. (Its hard to know what you want to do at 18/19  ). But anyways, one thing that drives me up the wall is the I64-WB and 264 interchange. In the morning this will be backed up for a mile because people fail to realize that the left portion of the branch going to 264 is for 264 south bound and the right sector is for 264 north bound. So then you have people who are in the right lane trying to get over to the left lane when they see thats 264-S. Why don't they just put up a clearer and direct sign then the one in use? I'm sure some one else besides me has noticed this.  Also, I was doing an environmental survey for a major interstate in New York to connect to another population center in New York (not sure if this is public or not), and I was just wondering how often you run across major changes to plans because of wildlife. I never would have thought an interstates placement would be based around animal life. nbakyfan fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Aug 1, 2009 |

A couple more questions. First, is there a difference between a transportation engineer and a traffic engineer? Also, how hard (assuming you have the degree and certifications required) would it be to attain a job working in a TMC? I've always thought that'd be a cool job, but it seems like there wouldn't be many openings. Another turn off was according to some engineers where I co-op now is that transportation engineers are easy to come by, so job security is kind of an issue. I was just wondering what your thoughts were on that.
