Traffic Engineering

Aliquot provides a full range of traffic engineering services to public and private sector clients—developing solutions to improve the safety and efficiency of traffic operations. Our engineers possess deep expertise in preparing requirements, plans, specifications, and estimates for traffic signals and roadway improvements. We also offer a wide variety of studies (including signal and stop control warrants) to assist our clients in determining economic feasibility and the potential impact of a project on the surrounding roadway network. Our engineers have attended public hearings and community meetings to assist with securing municipal approval and address public concerns.​ 

We are highly experienced with all aspects of traffic calming including planning, analysis, and evaluation, as well as the implementation of trial pilot projects using temporary traffic controls. We have experience with large-scale parking projects including parking duration studies for downtown areas, residential permit parking implementation, and parking occupancy studies for individual land uses (hospitals, business parks, and residential complexes).

Discipline Leader: Gordon Lum

Education

• M.S. in Civil Engineering: Infrastructure Planning and Management, Stanford University
• B.S. in Civil Engineering, Stanford University

​Background
Gordon Lum has been a licensed California Traffic Engineer (TE 1542) for over 35 years. He has been teaching signal timing and operations courses for the UC Berkeley Extension program since 2001. Gordon developed a signal timing Excel template (PlanSig) that has been widely distributed to transportation professionals throughout California. He also authored “10 Lessons Learned from a Pilot Traffic Calming Program” and presented it at an Institute of Transportation Conference. 
​
Gordon has been extensively involved in municipal traffic engineering, including the following areas: obtaining grant funding (i.e., ATP, CMAQ, and HSIP), reducing collisions, conducting speed surveys, relieving congestion, making presentations, developing signal timing parameters, implementing work orders, preparing staff reports, approving traffic control plans, coordinating with Caltrans, establishing conditions of approvals, reviewing PS&E for signals, and developing traffic calming programs.
