Traffic Department

The Traffic Operations and Engineering Department is responsible for the safe and efficient movement of vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians on the public right-of-ways in the City of Nashua.  This department responds to the complex and growing needs of the City’s infrastructure systems by planning, improving and maintaining the City’s walkways and traffic control and calming, through the use of traffic signals, pavement markings and street signs to ensure traffic safety and efficiency.

Our Traffic Engineering staff perform technical review of all private development plans that are presented to the Nashua Planning Board.  They provide recommendations to the Aldermanic Committee on Infrastructure regarding traffic and parking related ordinances and safety issues that include traffic signs, pavement markings, parking meters and other engineered traffic devices.  Traffic Engineering is also involved with numerous design projects ranging from guardrail and traffic signals to traffic calming devices as well as transportation engineering projects within the City such as the Broad Street Parkway, parking lot rehabilitation, Amherst Street widening, and the Broad Street and Main Street roundabouts.
