Maybe the kind that builds bridges but the ones that "engineer" streets are a clown profession that copies the same patterns over and over again, none of which have been devised under anything that could be deemed an evidence-based process.
I knew someone who did that. He worked mostly on improving safety and throughput. And took an evidence-based approach. I'm pretty sure that's the standard way to deal with things. It seemed awfully regulated.
The problems people seem to have are in design goals. And possibly incentives, once the goals are obvious.
