Signing and lining

Whether you design, manufacture or maintain traffic signs or road markings, Buchanan Computing has a system to help you. We supply the UK’s most comprehensive range of software for designing, managing and recording signs and lines.

SignPlot is the fastest, easiest and most intelligent system for traffic sign design. Joining it is LineMap to do the same for road markings. Both systems incorporate the complex spacing and layout rules of the 2016 TSRGD and relevant chapters of the Traffic Signs Manual, and apply them automatically. This makes them productive and easy to learn, and it eliminates many potential sources of error and unnecessary expense. As well as linking with our other systems, these tools integrate easily into any CAD, GIS or BIM environment.

The structural design module built into SignPlot is also available separately as SignLoad. This implements the 2007 versions of Eurocodes EN12899 and EN12767, with their latest UK National Annexes, to design safe but economical sign structures, including their foundations and stiffening, for any location in the Britain or Ireland.

SignMap links with SignPlot to combine signing scheme design with a signing inventory for maintenance and record-keeping purposes. Sign faces and their map locations are shown on a single drawing, allowing signing proposals to be designed separately from the permanent record.
