DRAFT — owner and counsel to confirm. No lawyer has read this page, and it is not in force. It is written to match what the plans themselves say, so that the contract and the sheet cannot disagree. Four things are still to be settled: the legal wording, the governing law, the limitation of liability and the business entity's name.

Terms of service

Last drafted 2026-09-27. Nothing on this page is agreed until the business that issues these plans finishes it, signs it off and dates it.

1 · What is being sold

One traffic control plan for one described job. The plan is a drawing of the temporary traffic control devices:

• signs, channelizing devices, tapers and buffer;
• where applicable, a pedestrian route or a detour.

The dimensions come from the tables of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Part 6. Each dimension is printed beside the table it was read from.

We prepare the plan for the job as you describe it. A person reads it before it is sent to you.

2 · What is not being sold

• No permit and no approval. The agency with jurisdiction decides whether a plan is acceptable for its permit. Nothing in a plan, in a quotation, or on this site is a representation that any agency will accept or approve it.
• No professional engineer's seal or stamp. We do not seal plans, and preparing them is not the practice of engineering held out to you as such. Where the agency with jurisdiction requires a plan sealed by a licensed professional engineer, these plans do not meet that requirement. Whether your closure needs such a plan is yours to establish.
• No design of the work itself, no construction means and methods, no site safety plan, no inspection, and no supervision of anyone in the roadway.
• No labour, devices or equipment.

3 · A plan is a draft until it is issued, and the field decides

Every sheet is marked DRAFT unless and until we issue it. A plan describes an arrangement of devices for the conditions you described. The dimensions on it are minimums and figures from the manual's tables, and they are adjusted on site to the conditions actually found there.

Nothing on a sheet overrides any of these:

• what the person in charge of the work sees on the ground;
• a direction from the agency;
• a police or emergency instruction.

Where a plan includes a detour, the route geometry and any posted restrictions on it come in part from OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap is a public data set and it is not complete. On a detour route, these are to be verified in the field before any sign is posted:

• turn restrictions;
• one-way operations;
• signal timing;
• vertical clearances;
• weight limits and width limits.

A sheet that routes a detour carries that caveat in its general notes. A plan with no detour has no such sheet, and no sheet of it carries the caveat.

4 · What you are responsible for

We draw the plan from what you tell us. You are responsible for the accuracy of the description you give, in particular:

• the posted speed limit;
• the number and arrangement of lanes;
• the length and width of the work space;
• the duration;
• the presence of pedestrians, transit stops, signals, railroad crossings and bicycle facilities;
• which agency's right-of-way the work is in.

Where you did not know an answer and said so, the plan says what was assumed or left open.

You are responsible for obtaining the permit, for meeting its conditions, for the devices actually placed, and for the conduct of the work.

5 · Revisions

A revision to a plan already delivered is made at no charge, where the job has changed or an answer was wrong. A plan for a different job is a different plan.

6 · Price and payment

A price is confirmed in writing before work begins. Prices shown on this site are starting figures and are not an offer.

How it works, as a matter of fact: you send the job and nothing is charged. We read the job and set a price for that job. The price recorded against your order is the price you pay. A later change to the figures on this site does not change a price already given to you. Payment is due before the plan is drawn, unless something else has been agreed in writing.

Card payments are taken by Stripe, on a page hosted by Stripe. No card number, expiry date or security code is ever typed into this site, passes through it, or is stored by it. What comes back is confirmation that a payment of a stated amount succeeded. Stripe issues the receipt.

A refund is made to the card or account the payment came from. Where one is agreed, it is issued through Stripe, and the order's record shows it.

To be settled with counsel: whether a delivered plan is refundable and on what basis, cancellation before delivery, and what happens when a plan is delivered and the job is then abandoned. Nothing above states a refund entitlement, because that is a term and not a mechanism.

7 · Limits

To be settled with counsel: limitation of liability, indemnity, insurance, warranty disclaimer, governing law and venue, and how these terms may change. Nothing is drafted here, deliberately — a limitation clause written by the wrong hand is worse than none.

8 · Who you are contracting with

To be settled: the legal name of the business, its registered address, its UBI number, and its professional liability insurer.
