Interactive, field-ready computational utilities developed for civil engineers, municipal public works staff, traffic safety contractors, sign fabricators, and roadway inspectors conforming to FHWA MUTCD 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025).
Interactive field selectors and purchasing guides for temporary traffic control hardware: cone height & spacing estimators, 36″ vs 48″ sign area comparisons, roll-up sign field specs, and ASTM D4956 retroreflectivity ratings.
Determine required sign blank dimensions, vertical mounting elevations, roadside lateral clearances, Table 2C-3 advance warning placement guidelines, and Table 2A-5 retroreflectivity standards.
Compute merging, shifting, shoulder, and one-lane two-way taper lengths, buffer spaces, warning sign advance spacing, and channelizing device intervals under FHWA Part 6.
Calculate sign blank face area, stock sheet cutting yield, blade kerf gap losses, offcut scrap, and reflective sheeting order allowances for sign fabrication.
Estimate liquid paint volume in US gallons for roadway line striping, bicycle lanes, and parking stalls based on measured geometry and wet film thickness.
Comprehensive field selection guides for traffic cones, roll-up signs, portable stands, sign blank sizing comparisons, and retroreflective sheeting grades.
