Traffic Sign Maker

Road works and traffic management signs for Chapter 8 schemes. 178 signs, each mapped to its TSRGD 2016 schedule reference, with revoked diagrams removed.

Signs checked against TSRGD 2016, not TSRGD 2002

The Department for Transport publishes its traffic sign artwork under the Open Government Licence, but that library still carries the diagram numbering from the 2002 Regulations. TSRGD 2016 renumbered some signs, moved others out of the prescribed schedules, and revoked twenty diagrams outright. Every sign here has been mapped forward using the read-across tables in DfT Circular 01/2016, and each one shows its diagram number and 2016 schedule reference. Two of the revoked diagrams matter on site: diagram 629, the imperial-only width restriction, and diagram 629.2, the imperial-only height restriction. Both are still widely reproduced and neither has been lawful since 2016.

Prescribed diagrams and Schedule 13 Part 9 signs

Most signs in this tool are prescribed diagrams - the sign face is fixed by the Regulations and cannot be altered. A smaller group, including the works access and site traffic signs, is no longer prescribed. TSRGD 2016 Schedule 13 Part 9 permits those as temporary signs with wording of your choosing, provided the shape, background colour, lettering colour and x-height follow the Part 9 rules. The badge on each sign tells you which group it belongs to, and the picker hides non-prescribed signs until you ask for them.

What these signs are for

Traffic management plans, method statements, site inductions, toolbox talks and briefing packs. An A4 or A3 print is not a prescribed-size traffic sign and must not be deployed on the highway - sign sizes on the highway depend on road speed and layout, and placement needs the traffic authority's authorisation.
