I Think I Actually Heard This Conversation Once

Here at SRTC, we can laugh at ourselves, so here's a little something to get you through Friday. No, we're not traffic engineers, but our transportation planners use the same lingo in the office and we've had some of these same conversations with engineers we partner with. While that's fine within the business, we've made a big effort in recent years to make all our materials understandable to everyone, not just those who deal with traffic on an everyday basis. Legal disclaimer: we don't support or endorse the 'Strong Towns' message at the end. Enjoy!

It sounds like engineers could really benefit from training in Plain Talk.
