Traffic Engineering Division
Our roadways and sidewalks impact the quality of life for all of us. Whether through traffic signals, roadway signage and markings, road repairs, or new technology, the Sparks Traffic Engineering Division is responsible for key surface transportation functions that help vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic move as safely and efficiently as possible.
We work in close coordination with the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and the Washoe County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) to implement new technologies to ensure safe, efficient traffic flow and maintain roadways and sidewalks. The division also works closely with all levels of government, utility companies, and private contractors to protect the integrity of the City’s surface transportation infrastructure.
The City has also created a traffic-calming handbook that identifies speed-mitigating devices to help reduce traffic speeds in neighborhoods and improve safety. Review the handbook in the resources below for more information.
