We offer a complete range of
services in the Traffic Engineering field. Together our firm’s principals
have over 70 years experience in this field. One of our firm’s
Prinicipals, Mr. James Mallett, carries the Professional Traffic
Operations Engineer designation, of which there about a select number of
practicing professionals in Canada. Paradigm Principals have authored over
500 studies that contained detailed traffic engineering analyses. Traffic/Transportation Impact Studies:
The impact of new development on
traffic operations is a matter of major importance to roadway
authorities. This is related to increasing peak period congestion on
urban roadways, the need to maintain high levels of safety and
limited funding to keep roadway facilities in a state of good repair.
Provision of a traffic impact study along with a development
application is a common requirement across Ontario.
Traffic Operations and Safety:
Public concerns regarding fiscal
restraint and the economic, social and environmental impact of new
and improved transportation facilities are increasing the amount of
attention being given to improving the efficiency of our existing
transportation systems, managing travel demand and improving the
coordination between transportation and land use decision making. Our
traffic engineering services are focused on getting more value from
the existing transportation infrastructure in order to respond to
these concerns. Neighbourhood Traffic Calming:
Our extensive experience with studies of
this nature indicates two key success factors. Firstly, there is an
education process required in outlining the range of options and their
impacts. Secondly, strong public support and involvement is required from
the neighbourhood. Residents must be involved in creating the plan and
“selling” the plan to their community.
