SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the search for free CAD blocks specifically for traffic arrows to be used in site plans, particularly for a new Pizza Hut location. The original poster, Blimkie, expresses difficulty finding these resources online, particularly through Google. A response highlights the importance of sourcing these materials from approved traffic-supply companies, especially for permanent installations that require night visibility. The conversation emphasizes the need for proper materials and techniques when painting traffic arrows on roads.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of CAD software for design (e.g., AutoCAD)
  • Knowledge of traffic design standards and regulations
  • Familiarity with materials used for road markings (e.g., bake-on night-visible paint)
  • Awareness of sourcing from approved traffic-supply companies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research free CAD block resources for traffic design (e.g., CADdetails, AutoCAD Blocks)
  • Learn about traffic design regulations in your area (e.g., AASHTO guidelines)
  • Investigate materials for road markings, focusing on night visibility options
  • Explore best practices for painting traffic arrows on roads
USEFUL FOR

Urban planners, civil engineers, CAD designers, and anyone involved in traffic design and road marking projects will benefit from this discussion.

Does anyone know where I could download some free cad blocks for traffic arrows to be painted on a road.

My company is doing a site plan for a new pizza hut and I have to alter the highway to have some turning lanes some turning arrows and strait arrows. Couldn't find any on Google.

Thanks,

-Blimkie

Isn't that the sort of thing you're supposed to be buying from state / provincial / federal / whatever approved traffic-supply companies? Especially if they have to be seen at night.

EDIT: Glossed over the part about painting on the road (as opposed to road signs): but if this is permanent, I think it still needs to be done with the bake-on night-visible stuff (and the guys that would do that would have the graphics for doing that sort of thing), or some guy laying / painting this stuff by hand anyways.
