SignPlot is a software application for the design of UK traffic signs and their supports and foundations, developed and sold by Buchanan Computing.[1][2]
History
Initially created in the early 1980s as a university project by Simon Morgan, SignPlot 3 has undergone several updates.[3] The program is designed to automate almost all the layout and spacing rules of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions,[4] Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 7,[5] and drawings issued by the Welsh Assembly Government for bilingual signing.
