Traffic Control Game

Client: Traffic Management Inc.

Audience: Traffic controllers who have been on the job for 60 days and are ready for advanced, scenario-based training.

Tools: Photoshop, PowerPoint

Deliverables: The project produced a tabletop play mat, interchangeable traffic-control signs, an instructor-led PowerPoint deck, a detailed instructor guide, and an individual practice sheet.

Time in Development: 3 months

My Role: Instructional Designer

Challenges

Engagement was low, and knowledge transfer had not been formally measured in previous training rounds.

The curriculum had to cover five closure types, each with five work-zone scenarios, across thirteen state variations, resulting in a large and complex content matrix.

Solutions

I added hands-on practice, gamified tasks, and team-based problem-solving activities to boost engagement and make learning outcomes observable.

I worked closely with subject-matter experts to verify every state-specific rule and produced thorough documentation so instructors could deliver the content consistently.

Results

Post-training surveys from both learners and instructors returned 100 percent positive feedback, citing higher engagement, clearer knowledge transfer, and increased confidence in setting up work zones.
