Bespoke CAD’s and Permits​

Every project is different, which is why we provide bespoke CAD traffic management drawings
designed specifically for your site and operational requirements. Our experienced design team produces clear, compliant traffic management plans that ensure works are delivered safely, efficiently, and in accordance with current legislation and industry standards.​

Whether your project is a imple lane closure or a complex multi-phase traffic management scheme, we create detailed CAD drawings that support safe implementation and minimise disruption to road users.​

Any works undertaken on the public highway in England must comply with the requirements of the Traffic Management Act 2004, the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRSWA), and he relevant highway authority’s permit scheme.

Before any traffic management is installed or works commence, the appropriate permits and approvals must be obtained from the local highway authority. The type of permit required depends on the nature of the works and the level of isruption to road users.

The most common permits and approvals are:​

  • Street Works Permit ​
  • Section 50 Street Works Licence ​
  • Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) ​
  • Temporary Traffic Signal Approval ​

FAQs

What is a traffic management CAD drawing?
A traffic management CAD drawing is a scaled technical plan, produced using computer-aided design software, showing how traffic, pedestrians and site access will be managed during a project. It typically includes sign positions, closures, signal placement and pedestrian routes relevant to the specific site.
CAD drawings allow a traffic management scheme to be planned accurately against the real dimensions of a road or site before any equipment is installed. This helps confirm the layout is workable in practice and gives a clear reference for the site team and, where required, the highway authority reviewing the scheme.
Traffic management design is the process of planning how traffic and pedestrians will be managed for a specific project, including layout, signage, and any temporary signals or crossings. It is set out through a CAD drawing tailored to the works involved.
There is no single universal traffic management permit. Depending on the works and the road involved, projects may require a Traffic Regulation Order, a Temporary Traffic Licence, or other permission from the relevant local authority. The specific requirement depends on the type of works and the authority responsible for that road.
This depends on the nature of the works and the road involved. Some short-term or reactive works may require different permissions to planned closures or signal installations. We can advise on what is likely to apply once we understand the project.
Permits and permissions are approved by the relevant local authority or highway authority responsible for the road in question, rather than by a single national body.
Approval timescales are set by individual highway authorities and can vary depending on the type of works and the authority involved. We factor this into project planning wherever possible.
