Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A planned phone app for drawing MUTCD-based traffic-control plans around real road conditions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-05 issue.

Field notes

The proposed workflow starts with a map-drawn work area and uses road attributes such as posted speed, lane count, and bearing to place traffic-control devices. The page gives a concrete example for a 65 mph, three-lane road: a 780-foot merge taper, 525-foot buffer, and signs extending to 2,640 feet. It also describes state supplements, eight closure types, on-device plan storage, and PDF export, while noting that a qualified person must review each plan.
