Do you have a road-related job?

I work at a traffic engineering office, mostly doing noise surveys, air quality sometimes, design street layouts in AutoCAD and conducting traffic counts for various surveys.

No road-related job, but I try my best to contact the local departments of transportation to keep the highways and byways upkept. Some around my way are very poorly attended to.


Be well,

I'm unemployed, so I'm doing the AARoads shield gallery, which hopefully will bring sweet, sweet sign replica sales revenue!

I'll put it this way: I have never edited a Wikipedia article that was in any way related to my job.

No job right now at all, and I honestly don't see myself ending up with any sort of road-related job in the future... unless being on the road all day counts.

I am a professional traffic engineer, working for a consultant in central New Jersey.  I manage all traffic elements on projects, mainly, but most notably (for this site, anyway), I oversee the design of guide signing on many projects.
Opinions here attributed to me are mine alone and do not reflect those of my employer or the agencies for which I am contracted to do work.

I'm mostly just a student at University of Wyoming majoring in Geography with an emphasis in GIS

Over the summer I work at a 5 star hotel in central Idaho managing the boat dock-  big tips and good money and I get to drive really fast and expensive boats around all day. It's a great gig.

Like akotchi, I am also a professional traffic engineer.  Unlike akotchi, I work for a consulting company in the San Francisco Bay Area, performing traffic analyses for new developments (i.e. residential developments, shopping centers, etc.).

No road-related job here. I'm not even a professional photographer (well, yet)...I'm a pharmacy technician.

I work as a CFO for a software company.  Not cutting checks for new road construction, unfortunately, but I've always loved roads.
