Need Highway Symbols

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Coleman Smith, Jul 4, 2004.

  1. I am an insurance adjuster and I need symbols for drawing intersectional and
    highway accidents including cars, semi-trucks and highway signs.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Is it symbols you want in plan view? Or do you want elevation views of vehicles?
    You need to be more specific.

  6. Coleman, you might also try a search on the internet for AutoCAD blocks.
    Those things are available for free all over the place. You may have to dig
    a bit to find what you want, but it's most likely there. I know I have seen
    a lot of vehicles in the Architecture related block libraries, not sure
    about traffic signs though.

    I have an AtuoCAD file of highway number-signs for Interstate, US,
    and California, highways. The Interstate and US sign plate
    dimensions are taken from the US DOT "Manual On Uniform Traffic
    Control Devices For Streets And Highways". I estimated the
    California sign plate dimensions. All 3 types of sign plates are
    made in narrow and wide shapes, for 2-digit and 3-digit highway
    numbers, respectively. You also may want sign plates for county
    roads, Forest Service roads, various park service roads, etc.; I have
    not drawn those. With my file, you can call up any of the 6 shapes
    that I have drawn.

    I also have a file of a stop-sign drawing.

    The manual also shows many other types of highway signs, traffic
    signals, and road markings, including dimensions and various
    standards for many of them.

    My manual was published in the year 1971, and I have heard that it
    has been replaced with some other publication.

    If you need CAD-drawn diagrams, then my files, and the manual or
    what-ever replaced it, should be useful. I can send the CAD files by
    e-mail, uuencoded and zipped.
