  2. Roadway Design

 4.1.1 Minor Roadway Design - This category includes the design of small urban and rural roadways involving repair, resurfacing, and rehabilitation that do not include major reconstruction, and urban and rural roadways that involve substantial capacity improvements through a previously undeveloped area. Associated activities include utility relocation and miscellaneous minor design services.

 4.2.1 Mayor Roadway Design - This category includes the design of urban and rural roadways that involve major reconstruction or substantial capacity improvements through a developed area. Associated activities include utility relocation plans, stormwater permits, maintenance of traffic plans, and traffic engineering applications.

 4.3.1 Complex Highway Design - This category includes the design of expressways, limited access facilities, diamond interchanges, freeways, and new roadway and reconstruction work on complex projects including complex geometrics. Associated activities include substantial drainage evaluation and design features, traffic engineering applications, utility relocation plans, and maintenance of traffic plans.

 
  1. Traffic Engineering and Operations Studies

 7.1.1 Traffic Engineering Studies - This category is defined as the study of the traffic operations of a roadway. Associated activities include preparation of or performance of traffic counts, signal warrants, collision diagrams, travel time and delay, capacity and level of service analysis, intersection analysis, signing, and pavement marking.

7.2.1 Higway-Rail Grade Cossing Studies- This category includes the study of the operations of highway-rail grade crossings. Associated activities include preparation of or performance of corridor analysis, diagnostic inspections to determine appropriate type and location of active warning devices, advance warning signs and pavement markings, and other geometric or operational improvements.

7.3.1 Traffic Signal Timing- This category includes analysis, development, and implementation of timing for traffic signals. Associated activities include data collection, intersection analysis, computerized timing programs (development of phase intervals and sequence), and timing implementation.

7.4.1 Traffic Control Systems Analysis, Design and Implemmentation- This category includes the use of electrical engineering, electronics engineering, computer science and traffic engineering to analyze, design, and implement real-time traffic control systems.

 7.5.1 Intelligent Transportation Systems - This category includes conducting ITS planning studies. Associated activities include the study of transportation systems, identification of ITS applications to mitigate transportation problems, development of short term and long term ITS implementation plans, and assessment of the impact of ITS projects on the transportation system.
  1. Traffic Operations Design

8.1.1 Signing Pavement Marking and Channelization - This category includes the design and preparation of plans for signing, pavement marking, and channelization.

8.4.1 ITS Control Systems Analysis, Design & Implementation - This category of work includes the use of transportation engineering, electronics engineering, and computer science to analyze, design and implement transportation control systems. Associated activities include system performance and cost analysis, system hardware and software design, communication system design, development of management plans, supervision of system installation and operation, system testing and debugging, preparation of system documentation, and the training of operations personnel.
  1. Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities

9.1.1 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facility Development - This category includes the design of bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
