Traffic Engineering

The Traffic Engineering Division regulates, installs and maintains street markings, signs, signals and other vehicular and pedestrian traffic control devices on city-owned roadways.  Through an agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the division also maintains 550 traffic signals on state-owned roadways.  

Traffic Engineering works very closely with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, which enforces the laws and regulations relating to traffic.  Traffic control devices are effective, but only when drivers choose to obey them.

If you have concerns about traffic violations in your neighborhood, you should consider contacting your local JSO Substation, or get involved in your area's Sheriff's Advisory Council (ShAdCo).

To request service or to report a signal, sign or other traffic problem, please call 630-CITY (2489) or visit 630-CITY online.
