Transportation Engineering Services in Bowling Green, KY

Safe, efficient transportation systems are essential to successful development. At Landmark Engineering, we provide transportation engineering services for commercial and residential projects throughout Bowling Green, South Central Kentucky, and nearby Tennessee communities. Since 2004, our team has helped developers, property owners, and public agencies move projects forward with careful traffic analysis, roadway design, utility coordination, and construction planning. Led by owner and president Thaddaeus J. Lucas, PE, PLS, we combine local knowledge, technical accuracy, prompt communication, and practical solutions that support long-term community growth.

Transportation Planning That Supports Better Development

Transportation planning affects how people enter, leave, and move through a site. Poorly designed access points, turning movements, pedestrian routes, or road connections can create safety concerns, congestion, and costly delays during municipal review.

A Complete Transportation View

Our team studies the full transportation picture before recommending a solution. We consider existing road conditions, projected traffic, surrounding land uses, utility conflicts, sight distance, pedestrian needs, and future development patterns so each plan supports both the project and the broader community.

Traffic Studies and Signal Warrants

Traffic studies help determine how a proposed development may affect nearby roads and intersections. They also provide municipalities with the information needed to evaluate access, turn lanes, signal timing, and other potential improvements.

Our traffic engineering services include traffic impact studies, trip generation analysis, intersection evaluation, and traffic studies and signal warrants. We present findings clearly and develop recommendations that address safety, operating conditions, and applicable agency requirements without adding unnecessary complexity.

Roadway Design in South Central Kentucky

Roadway projects must balance safety, drainage, utilities, right-of-way, grading, constructability, and long-term maintenance. Urban streets, rural roads, commercial access drives, and subdivision roadways each require a different design approach.

Our roadway design in South Central Kentucky includes geometric layout, profiles, grading, drainage coordination, pavement design, signage, striping, and construction documentation. As an experienced roadway engineer, we focus on plans that are technically sound, practical to build, and aligned with local review standards.

Commercial Site Traffic Planning

Commercial developments need safe and convenient access for customers, employees, delivery vehicles, and emergency services. A strong plan must account for turning movements, internal circulation, parking connections, loading areas, and nearby roadway conditions.

Our commercial site traffic planning services help developers coordinate site design with public infrastructure. We evaluate driveway placement, access spacing, vehicle paths, pedestrian crossings, and potential off-site improvements so the final plan works smoothly during both review and daily operation.

Sight Distance and Access Investigations

Drivers need adequate visibility when entering, exiting, or crossing a roadway. Hills, curves, landscaping, roadside objects, and existing development can limit sight distance and affect whether a proposed access point is safe.

We perform sight distance investigations and document existing conditions before recommending driveway or roadway locations. This analysis helps reduce avoidable design changes and gives clients stronger technical support during agency coordination and permitting.

Pedestrian Travelways and Safer Connections

Transportation engineering is not limited to vehicles. Sidewalks, shared-use paths, crossings, ramps, and pedestrian connections are important parts of creating accessible and connected communities.

We design pedestrian travelways that coordinate with roads, drainage, utilities, and site features. Our plans consider safety, accessibility, grades, visibility, and how people will realistically move between buildings, parking areas, neighborhoods, and public streets.

Utility Relocation Plans

Roadway construction often affects water, sewer, gas, electric, communication, and other utility systems. Unresolved conflicts can delay bidding, increase construction costs, and require major field changes after work has already started.

Our utility relocation plans identify known conflicts and coordinate adjustments with the broader infrastructure design. We work to resolve these issues early so roadway, drainage, grading, and utility improvements can move forward with fewer surprises.

Landmark Engineering

Right-of-Way and Construction Documents

Some roadway and access projects require new easements, right-of-way acquisition, or temporary construction areas. Accurate documentation is essential for property coordination, agency review, and future maintenance responsibilities.

Our services may include right-of-way acquisition documents, easement exhibits, construction plans, technical specifications, and bidding documents. We organize these materials carefully so owners, contractors, and reviewing agencies have a clear understanding of the proposed work.

End-to-End Transportation Project Support

Transportation projects often require coordination from early feasibility through final construction. Managing each phase with one experienced engineering team helps preserve design intent and reduce gaps between planning, approval, bidding, and field execution.


Our transportation engineering support may include:

  • Preliminary transportation planning
  • Traffic impact studies
  • Signal warrant evaluations
  • Urban and rural road design
  • Highway engineering support
  • Commercial access planning
  • Pedestrian travelway design
  • Sight distance investigations
  • Utility relocation coordination
  • Right-of-way documents
  • Bidding and construction plans
  • Site inspections and field support

A Transportation Scope Built Around the Project

We tailor the scope to the project rather than applying the same process to every assignment. This keeps the work efficient while giving clients the technical support needed at each stage.
