Became familiar with the process of setting up video cameras to count passing by traffic at intersections; counted pedestrians crossing and critically analyzed with the team whether the intersections were safe enough. Edited appendices for Traffic Impact reports that were completed to conduct a traffic study on a proposed development.
Created figures that were to be used in the appendix, making sure the information regarding the street names and site was accurate to the project to be analyzed.
