Drawings are sent out to customers either by fax or emailed as a .pdf file. Usually they are sent as black and white technical drawings, however full colour is available upon request.

All designs are carried out on the latest AutoCAD design draughting package and graphic design packages such as CorelDraw &  Adobe Photoshop (please check with us for compatible file formats and software).

Software specifically tailored to create bespoke traffic signs can be obtained from:
Buchanan Computing
Key Traffic Systems

The drawings can be of variations of standard signs or entirely original designs incorporating images, logos and badges.

In addition to this, the design team will check over any drawings you may supply to confirm that that they comply with DfT (Department for Transport) regulations.

Customers may often wonder why designs we send back to them for approval have changed in layout and/or size from the design they originally submitted to us.
