🧵 7/? Traffic engineering isn't really engineering, it's econometrics. Engineering principles don't work, because you are not working with the immutable laws of physics. You are trying to predict and manage human behavior.

Again, traffic engineers study physics, but they don't study economics. There are zero hours of economics required for an ABET-accredited Civil Engineering degree. And none required for the Professional Traffic Operations Engineer credential. https://www.tpcb.org/certification/ptoe/reference-material/
