We're moving up in the world!
In April, we noted that JMTE had expanded our offices in Waynesville, NC, but we also opened our first satellite office in Knoxville, TN. Staffing the Knoxville office is Wesley "Wes" Stokes, who joined JMTE in 2011. Wes is a licensed civil engineer with expertise in traffic signal design, intersection safety and traffic impact analysis, capacity analysis, MUTCD compliance, crash history analysis, data collection and agency coordination, among other services.
Wes has already coordinated several traffic signal design projects in Tennessee. For example, he prepared a geometric plan for an intersection signal design in Chattanooga that included loop detector placement, video detection, signal head alignment and signal timing, phasing and clearance interval. In Morristown, Wes prepared a traffic signal warrant analysis and signal design to accommodate a westbound traffic approach for a proposed development. In addition, in 2015, Wes worked with Cemex USA's Knoxville plant to prepare a traffic safety study.
Wes received his bachelor's degree in civil engineering in 2011 from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. In 2013, he obtained additional certifications from UT's Center for Transportation Research and Traffic Signal Academy.
JMTE isn't the only thing expanding in Knoxville. In July, Wes and his wife Allyson welcomed their first child, a son named Oliver, into the world. Wes said the Stokes family is excited to be a part of Knoxville community. And w
e're really excited about providing our distinctive blend of transportation engineering and planning, forensic engineering, collaboration management and education/training to our neighbors in the Volunteer state.
Supporting Wes is a staff of engineers, planners, technicians and administrative support, that allows us to provide an extensive range of transportation engineering and planning services including intersection safety, wayfinding, traffic impact analysis review and preparation, traffic data collection, traffic signal warrant, design and operation, pavement marking design and operation, sign design and operation, corridor studies, risk management, MUTCD training and compliance, bicycle and pedestrian safety, pavement condition surveys, sight distance evaluations, and expert testimony.
We also partner with many professional firms and individuals throughout the region, which allows JMTE and our partners to provide multi-disciplined engineering, surveying, planning, and project management for a wide array of engineering challenges. For more information about the services we're offering to Knoxville and other Tennessee communities, contact Wes by phone at 865-661-2810; or by email to
