Our Mission
The Traffic Engineering Division focus is improving public safety, mobility, transportation equity and sustainability. Traffic Engineering includes the following areas:
- Signing and Pavement Marking
- Signals and Streetlighting
- Pedestrian and Bicycle Services

We aim to make Madison a safer place for all road users by providing the necessary information, guidance and safety standards along the City’s streets and sidewalks, using traffic signals, signs and pavement markings, to help ensure a safe and efficient experience for all users.
Traffic Engineering is also involved in the planning and design of new transportation infrastructure, the issuance and enforcement of permits to allow temporary occupancy of streets/sidewalks for construction purposes and have a team of skilled technicians that install and maintain the communication systems for emergency service vehicles.
