‘At Ridge Traffic and Transportation, we see Transport as an opportunity not a constraint.’
Population growth is fuelling an increased need for transport and placing an ever greater burden on the existing network. To meet the needs of our communities both now and in the future, smart, integrated and sustainable transport solutions must be provided.
Property development can have a significant impact on the local and strategic road network, highway safety and the environment. Ridge has created a range of strategies, technologies, models and simulations, to help keep people moving efficiently and safely, and with a lower demand for energy.
Ridge provide a wide range of transport planning and engineering advice and services from master-planning and feasibility studies, to integrated transport systems and travel plans, design of transport infrastructure and improvement schemes for public and private sectors.
Solving transport problems is often critical in unlocking the development potential of your site. Engaging Ridge as early as possible enables us to influence scheme design and assemble data to demonstrate the viability of a project to statutory authorities. We present commercially focused solutions to ease congestion, reduce carbon emissions and improve safety.
