KeyLINES is the leading road marking and traffic management design software in the UK, allowing engineers to produce road marking and traffic management drawings quickly within the CAD environment. With it the complete range of UK road markings and traffic management features, as set out by the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002, can be produced. There are also many functions to construct complex and multi-item markings such as whole junction markings with ease and speed. KeyLINES allows for permitted variations, and uses minimums and maximum dimensions when necessary. It also has a library of linetypes, standard symbols and text markings, pre-drawn to the correct size and shape. These combine to become a complete set of all lines, symbols, zig-zags, parking bays and text road markings that traffic engineers require.

All drawings are produced in standard AutoCAD format and are therefore easily exchanged between departments and organisations.

KeyLINES also has many utility functions such as the fast display and manipulation of 3D views from the standard 2D drawing, automatic label creation and instant quantity extraction with cost estimates from the drawing. 		 

     
  KeyLINES Highlights  
  Every Marking Required: All markings can be drawn to conform to the Traffic Signs Regulations. Additional marking can be drawn for subsequent authorisation.   Set Out Tools: Lining, Symbols and Text all have additional functions built in, to enable their accurate placement without the need for drawing extra setting out lines.  
  Draw Complex Markings Quickly: Diagonal hatching, Zig zags, zebra crossings, bus stop boxes, and other more involved marking can be quickly drawn from a minimum of user ‘picks’.   Labels and Quantities: Easily add labels and extract quantities. KeyLINES allows for many different types of labels to be created quickly and automatically. Quantities can be quickly extract and put into a Bill of Quantities (BoQ)  
  Layers and Colours: KeyLINES gives user control over the layers and colours used for the various markings.   3D images from 2D plans: KeyLINES quickly produces 3D view from the driver eye viewpoint or from a bird’s eye perspective. These plans can help consultation presentations be understood

  KeyLINES in Detail      
  Complete Lining Drawings   Waiting Restriction and other TROs  
 
KeyLINES can draw a full range of linetypes from the regulations. All ‘line plus gap’ combinations are included as well as Urban and Rural modules, single and double continuous markings.
 
All types of waiting restrictions and parking bays can be drawn. KeyLINES can be used to create Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) plans for consultation and order implementation.
 
         
  Green Transport Strategies   White Diagonal Hatchings  
 
To help with green transport strategies all markings associated with bus lanes, bus stops, cycle tracks, cycle lanes and other bus or cycle facilities can be drawn.
 
45° diagonal white hatchings for the centre of the road or for nearside/offside obstructions can also be drawn in one straight forward routine. Again this saves a great deal of time over drawing markings individually.
 
         
  Traffic Calming   Intuitive for Novice Users  
 
To assist in the design and consultation process when implementing traffic calming areas KeyLINES has a range of calming features. These include: tapered humps, round top humps, cushions, plateau, speed roundels, coloured and specialist surfacing & village entrance markings
 
There are dialogs and functions that access the standard KeyLINES routines in a more categorised way. These are to guide users, that are new to both road marking and KeyLINES, towards using the correct markings. They reference the sections of the Traffic Signs Manual that should be consulted for each particular marking.
 
         
  3D Viewing and 3D furniture   Labelling  
 
KeyLINES generates driver’s 3D view automatically which is useful as a safety audit tool. 3D features to enhance drawings include buildings, walls, trees, signs and Visirail®.
 
KeyLINES provides for the labelling of each type of marking drawn. It also has a wealth of options to customise the way the labels are drawn to fit users’ requirements.
 
         
  Quantities   Standard Drawing Format and Common Staff Skills  
 
KeyLINES will automatically calculate and tabulate the quantities of each type of marking on a drawing and even estimate cost, saving hours over manual calculation methods.
 
KeyLINES works with AutoCAD or AutoCAD Map to transform your drawing production methods. All the facilities of this world famous CAD package can be used for input, editing and output. The standard output files can be easily and quickly exchanged with other engineering and related organisations. Existing staff knowledge and resources in AutoCAD will be retained and improved upon.
