Why teams are switching
A complete, flexible solution without the lock-in
Rising costs, licences tied to machines, and development that's stalled. If your current signing and lining software is holding your team back, here's what changes when you make the move.
No more queuing for a seat
Right now, when a colleague opens your signing software, you're locked out for 24 hours. Causeway uses concurrent licensing; seats are released the moment someone closes the app. Your team works in parallel, not in shifts.
Learn in hours, not weeks
Engineers are ready to design on day one. No steep learning curve, no manual workarounds. Guided wizards handle the complexity; your team focuses on compliance and speed.
Flexible design, your way
Whether you prefer form-based design or CAD-based workflow, you get the same concurrent licensing.
It's your choice. Use the CAD you want, or none. No CAD subscription is required for every user.
Expert-led development
Changes to legislation are built into the software as they happen, so your designs stay ahead of compliance requirements.
Compliance built in
Expertise at your fingertips
TSRGD, Traffic Signs Manual, BS EN12899 and EN12767 build the foundations of our software, so you always have access to compliant road signs and markings for your designs.
Training delivered by the experts
Arm your team with the latest traffic signs and road marking skills and knowledge. We provide training courses for all skill levels, as well as the only IHE accredited course.
Design from anywhere, without queuing
No seat stuck waiting for someone to log off. Open from the office, home or site; your team shares one pool of concurrent licences.
Stay ahead of changing rules
We update our software in line with regulation, so you're never out of step with new symbols, amendments or time formats. With Welsh and Scottish Gaelic supported out of the box, you can be confident you're UK compliant.
Design signs and markings together
Flexible licensing lining and signing solutions means you can export from one, import to the other with full BIM data preserved. Your workflow is seamless, your licensing isn't fragmented.

FAQs
Questions from engineers evaluating their options.
We hear these often. They're the things that matter most when you're considering a switch.
That's a symptom of device-locked licensing, where a seat stays tied to one machine until a fixed period expires, typically 24 hours.
Causeway uses concurrent (floating) licensing instead.
Seats are shared across your team and released the moment someone closes the software, so no one is locked out waiting for a licence to free up.
No. Causeway's signing and lining tools are CAD-compatible but not CAD-dependent.
You can run them standalone under Windows, or inside AutoCAD and Civil 3D if you prefer, which means you avoid paying for a separate CAD subscription for every user.
Yes. Concurrent licensing lets your team open the software from the office, from home, or from site, drawing from a shared pool of seats. You pay for simultaneous use rather than for every named individual.
The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD), the Traffic Signs Manual and BS EN 12899 structural standards forms the foundations of our software.
Compliant traffic signs and road marking standards are pre-loaded so you don't need to cross-reference for accuracy.
We also run the only IHE accredited traffic signs and road markings course in the UK, so you can be confident your engineers have the right skills and knowledge to get their designs right, first time.
Engineers can be productive in as little as two hours of onboarding.
Our support team guides you through migration and training before full handover, as well as ongoing training courses available for new starters, refresher sessions and advanced programs.
Key things to check:
-
whether licensing locks seats to a device or lets your team share concurrently,
-
whether a separate CAD subscription is required,
-
how completely TSRGD, Traffic Signs Manual, and road marking standard compliance is built in,
-
whether the roadmap keeps pace with changing legislation (especially TSRGD amendments),
-
whether you get both signing and lining tools, or have to buy from multiple vendors,
-
and the depth of genuine UK traffic-sign and road-marking expertise behind the product and its support.
