The safest intersection on Earth (and why half the infrastructure profession hates it)

Traffic Engineering Inc. is wrong on many topics, but it’s absolutely right on this one.

Planner vs. Engineer is a well-known professional rivalry in the infrastructure world. The arguments are sometimes friendly, sometimes hostile, sometimes about important issues, sometimes insignificant. I’m in a peculiar spot because of my career as a “plangineer.” My parents helped me buy a civil engineering degree, but several years into my career, I bought the certified planning certificate. I know the two camps very well.
