Design Masterclass: Getting started with SmartSurface
In this masterclass, we introduce the basics of SmartSurface, covering both simple and multi-surfaces.
Causeway’s Signs & Lines suite brings together four powerful tools for end-to-end planning and compliance — from TSRGD-compliant signfaces to BIM-ready road markings and structural checks for sign supports. Trusted by over 200 local authorities, consultants and contractors across the UK.
Signs & Lines is Causeway’s end-to-end suite for traffic sign & road marking design — built to ensure compliance, eliminate manual errors & streamline workflows across infrastructure projects.
All four tools are built to align with UK standards like TSRGD, BS EN 12899-1, and BIM mandates, ensuring your designs are always regulation-ready.
Each tool in the Signs & Lines suite can be used independently or in combination — giving you the freedom to tailor your workflow around your team’s needs, existing tools and project types.
Save time and ensure every design is right from the start. Our solutions work together to keep your projects moving.
With intuitive interfaces and built-in design logic, our tools are designed to be easy to learn so teams can get up to speed quickly and deliver consistent, compliant outputs from day one.
The UK’s leading stand-alone traffic sign design software, automating the layout, spacing and regulatory rules of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) and the Traffic Signs Manual.
It is most widely used sign software in local authorities and at sign manufacturers, and runs directly under Windows without the need for CAD software.
Quickly and intuitively create TSRGD-compliant traffic signs using Causeway Sign — right within your preferred CAD environment, including AutoCAD® and Civil 3D®.
The established industry standard for designing traffic sign structures and checking their passive safety compliance. It covers the sign face and all common types of support and foundation.
It complies with the relevant standards for permanent signs,including the IHE Sign Structures Guide 2021 that was produced and edited by the Buchanan team. These include the current versions of BS EN 12899, BS EN 12767, PD 6547 and trunk road standards CD 354 and CG 300.
Flexible, powerful, CAD-independent software for designing road markings using TSRGD-compliant fonts, symbols & line types. Outputs in both drawing and BIM formats.
Whether you’re a new or experienced designer, we are a one-stop shop for your signing and lining tools that fit your unique workflows, ensuring faster project completion, reduced errors and full regulatory compliance.
From CAD-integrated workflows to intuitive form-based interfaces, enjoy the flexibility you need with the accuracy you trust.
With easy-to-use interfaces, you can be up and running in minutes.sed interfaces, enjoy the flexibility you need with the accuracy you trust.
Generate TSRGD and BIM compliant outputs every time.
Our close links with DfT and the devolved administrations (which use our software) ensure that we are always ready in advance with any changes and new symbols required.
Causeway Sign and Line readily integrates with AutoCAD® or Civil 3D®. Connect Causeway SignLoad to Causeway Sign so users can fully optimise the structural design of their signs and have offset posts.
Driven by strong R&D and our leadership in the market, we not only stay head of evolving standards but actively shape industry practices, ensuring our tools remain at the forefront of traffic management design.
Causeway’s Signs & Lines suite is the ultimate toolkit for traffic management design, combining automated layout compliance, comprehensive sign options and built-in sign structural analysis.
Quickly create correct and accurate sign designs for client approval and then for full-size digital printing or cutting via EPS and other outputs. Includes options for spot colour names, bleed margins and cut lines.
Quickly and accurately design compliant and economical road signs, lines, supports and foundations to TSRGD, Traffic Signs Manual and the relevant structural standards.
Quickly and intuitively create compliant road traffic signs with Causeway Sign, our CAD-independent software with built-in sign structure calculations all in one package.
Simplify the creation of road markings with our best-in-class road design software, Causeway Line. Boost productivity, automate, and comply with TSRGD.
Both Causeway Line and Causeway Sign integrate with drainage and site design solutions, bringing all your design disciplines into one place for end-to-end management.
Design compliant signs, model road markings, and check structural supports with ease — all while staying aligned to TSRGD, BIM standards and local requirements.
