Overview of the Course


This six week course covers everything you need to know about traffic signing, from the Traffic Signs, Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) and Traffic Signs Manual (TSM) to the impacts of signing on public realm quality. 

Specific sessions deal with all the main categories, how to address the design, location, installation and illumination of traffic signing in the most sensitive manner, choosing the most appropriate material type, and how we can ‘declutter’ our streets within the legislation. The course concludes with an opportunity to review worked examples and obtain advice on suitable solutions to problems.
