The uniform of the traffic man expresses prestige,distinction and belonging,this uniform is directly exposed to environmental and climatic factors during work, which lead to physical damage to the traffic man and damage to clothing that includes changing color and poor durability.
          This research aims to reach the highest functional efficiency and the best design for the traffic man's suit, to achieve the comfort and protection required for the traffic man while working from various risks,the research included three axes:
The first axis:includes the theoretical framework on an analytical and descriptive study of the traffic man’s uniform,which was identified through the study of the current uniform by the researcher and through the local and international standard specifications for the traffic man’s clothing.
The second axis:includes a field study that included data collection through the questionnaire as a tool of research to identify the problems facing the traffic man
The third axis:includes the results of the field study,which shows the most important problems that the traffic man suffers from,as follows:
The color of the uniform does not achieve psychological comfort, as the colors of the uniform change after a period of use, the uniform needs to be ironed after the washing process, the fabrics of clothes and the places of sewing are torn after a period of use, during the work period the uniform causes a rise in body temperature and a feeling of discomfort, Damage to the opening and closing tools (zips - buttons - capsules), not using the reflective jacket during the night work period
 
         A set of designs for the traffic man's uniform was presented, and one of the proposed designs was implemented in order to reach the best design and functional.
