SignPlot is a software application for the design of UK traffic signs and their supports and foundations, developed and sold by Buchanan Computing.[1]

History

Initially created in the early 1980s as a university project by Simon Morgan, SignPlot 3 has undergone several updates.[2] The program is designed to automate almost all the layout and spacing rules of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions,[3] Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 7,[4] and drawings issued by the Welsh Assembly Government for bilingual signing.
