Every traffic plan has a public address. Anyone with that URL can open the map read-only. They do not need an account. The link is the same Sharable link you copy from Export, and the same Copy link on Plans. Export choice: Sharable link recommended versus Export files Public share view — Account menu, no Signs catalog, map still pans Use this when a municipality, contractor, or colleague should see the current drawing without placing signs. Skip it if you were asked for a frozen PDF — that is Export and print traffic plans. Skip it if you need a municipal review session with comments and a lock; that is a different workflow. The public URL is the plan’s UUID, not a secret token layered on top. Treat it like a document you would email. This is the live document most municipalities prefer. Export files is the slower path, marked Only recommended when a municipality or 3rd party explicitly asks for this. Use both only when someone asked for a file and a link. What the URL looks like After the plan exists, the address is: https://app.traffic-chart.com/traffic-plans plus the plan id. The id is a UUID, for example: https://app.traffic-chart.com/traffic-plans/3f8c2a91-4b10-4c7e-9d2a-1f6e8b0c4d55 That whole string is the share link. There is no extra password screen. There is no “viewer role” to assign on the link itself. Until the plan is saved the first time, Sharable link can show Save your plan to generate link... and Copy stays disabled. Create the plan, wait for Auto-save: saved (or click Save), then copy. A brand-new Demo traffic plan has no UUID to share until that first save. The link stays current after you save. When you change signs on Demo traffic plan, the next person who opens the URL sees the saved drawing. They do not see unsaved local edits. Wait for Auto-save: saved, or click Save. Duplicate creates a new plan with a new UUID. Paid does not carry over. Move into an organization keeps the same public link. Copy into an organization creates a second plan with a new link. Create, organize, and share traffic plans. Copy the link From Plans 1. Open Plans for the right workspace (Switch workspace if Personal and Acme Events both exist). 2. Find the row, for example Demo traffic plan. 3. Open the ⋮ menu. 4. Click Copy link. From the editor 1. Click Export. 2. The title is How would you like to export your map? 3. The left column is Sharable link, marked RECOMMENDED. 4. Click Copy. Success on the button reads Success! A toast reads Link copied to clipboard. Benefits on that panel: - Accepted by most municipalities — Municipalities prefer digital links for real-time updates. - Fastest way to get a permit — No need to wait for PDF generation and email attachments. - Also saves some trees — Digital sharing is eco-friendly. Export files is the other column, with Only recommended when a municipality or 3rd party explicitly asks for this. During review, an organizer can also use Copy shareable link. Copied: Link copied to clipboard. Failure: Could not copy the link. What a public viewer can do The header says Plan is read-only. They can: - Pan the map (drag the background). - Zoom with Zoom in / Zoom out, the wheel, or a trackpad. - Open Select map and look at basemaps and data layers that the plan already uses. - Open Layers & Objects to find stacks. - Read placed signs, sketches, combination boards, and (if present) post locations. - Export saved map pages and a Materials list PDF through Export → Export files → Continue to export. The materials PDF keeps sign images, categories and custom text. Materials list and post orders. - Export the XL maps saved on the plan, if they are logged in and their own account or the plan's organization workspace has Pro. Without that, only the Detail maps can be exported. They cannot: - Place, move, rotate, duplicate, or delete signs. - Draw sketches, import GPX, or measure as an editor. - Change Start, End, or the title. - Use Save or Auto-save. - Open PDF preview. - Draw or resize export maps (empty export copy: No export maps have been added to this plan.). - Type Orders on Post orders. - Open the combination-sign editor or its icon catalog. Traffic Objects stays disabled. Tooltip: Plan is read-only. The Signs catalog tab is hidden; selecting a placed sign shows its Details. The other lock tooltips are Plan is approved and locked, Plan is under review, and Plan is locked when review is the reason instead of a public link. Downloading a materials PDF does not give the viewer editing rights. Materials Excel still needs a logged-in account with the relevant permission; it is not unlocked by receiving the share link. Viewers can also open Items to inspect the PDF legend and whole-plan sign counts. In Export, they can choose Include legend for their download without changing the saved legend. For a legend-only PDF, switch Map pages off. They cannot edit legend entries or PDF settings. Traffic plan legend and Items. If they expected to draw, they opened the share URL. They should log in as the owner, Switch workspace, and Open the plan from Plans. I can’t open or edit a plan. Logging in on the same UUID does not magically grant the pen. The page is still the public traffic-plan route. Editors work from Plans → Open in the right workspace. If an Acme Events member who is not assigned editor logs in and opens the UUID, they remain read-only. Viewers can Zoom in / Zoom out. Search address is hidden in read-only (it sits with the sketch tools). They pan to the works themselves. Send a short note with the link: “Demo traffic plan — zoom to Congress Avenue, Austin.” No How to? The How to? control is hidden for read-only visitors. The tutorial video does not auto-open. Watch tutorial video from Help also does nothing for a guest, because the same How to? dialog is suppressed. That is intentional. A public URL is a drawing, not an onboarding screen. Logged-in editors still have Help (Email support, Browse the FAQ, Watch tutorial video) and Report bug. How to? is a separate control from Help. Guests do not see How to?. They may still see the Help rail, but Watch tutorial video will not open the tutorial while the plan is read-only. Do not tell a municipality contact to “click How to?” on your link. Point them at this help center instead. Combination boards: snapshot, not the editor A Combination sign on a shared plan shows the finished board: header, text, icons, Geel or Wit, 120 x 80 or 130 x 90. That is the snapshot stored when the editor clicked Save in Combination sign. Public reads do not include the editor catalog: available icons, Size options, Colour preset swatches, or template rules. There is no Edit sign path that can rebuild the board. If the assigned editor later changes the board and saves the plan, the next viewer refresh shows the new snapshot. Combination signs. The same rule applies to ordinary plates, sketches, and post locations. The public payload is the saved plan. It is enough to render the map. It is not enough to rebuild a combination board in the editor. That catalog (icons, sizes, color presets) is editor-only. Ask a colleague to try the link in a private window before you send it to Austin. Confirm they can pan, zoom, and read the boards, and that they cannot place a sign. Organization members who are not the assigned editor A public UUID is one read-only path. An organization workspace is another. In Acme Events, everyone with access can Open Demo traffic plan. Only the assigned editor can change, duplicate, or delete it. Other members get the same Plan is read-only editor, even while logged in. Owners and Administrators use Assign editor on the plan menu. Dialog title example: Assign an editor to “Demo traffic plan — Austin works”. Choose Assigned editor, then Save assignment. If the assigned editor’s membership is suspended, nobody can edit until someone reassigns the plan. A suspended member cannot open the private workspace (Your membership is suspended). They can still open a public share URL read-only. Team rules: Organizations and members. Read-only is not always a share link Cause Typical copy What to do Public URL, not the editor account Plan is read-only Log in, open from Plans Organization member, not assigned editor Plan is read-only Owner/Admin Assign editor Municipality review in progress Plan is locked while under review / Plan is under review Wait, or follow review comments Approved plan This plan is locked because it has been approved plus Plan approved Do not expect further edits Folder/plan lock Plan is locked Check review and workspace Do not duplicate a plan that is in review unless the municipality asks. Duplicates can lose review history. Review for organizers. In-app Approved is not a legal permit. The municipality’s procedure still applies. Privacy: treat the URL like an emailed document Traffic Chart intends the UUID to be shareable. It is not an authorization vault. Anyone who has the full URL can view the map, including placed signs and combination-board snapshots. Do: - Send it to the municipality inbox, the contractor, or the Acme Events steward who needs it. - Prefer the link over a stale PDF when the drawing is still changing. - Recheck Auto-save: saved before you tell people it is ready. Do not: - Post the URL on public social media, an open Slack channel, or a public website. - Put it in a document that will be forwarded more widely than the works require. - Assume deleting a chat message revokes access. The UUID still works until you change how you share. If a link spread too widely, email customer@traffic-chart.com with the plan URL and what happened. Support can advise on the account. There is no self-serve “rotate UUID” button in the editor. A PDF is a snapshot in someone’s downloads folder. A share link is live. Choose on purpose. Event plans have their own Copy link. This page is traffic plans only. An event-plan URL does not unlock a traffic plan, and the other way around. If you Move Demo traffic plan from Personal into Acme Events, the UUID stays the same. People who already had the link keep seeing the same drawing, now owned by the organization. If you Copy, they still see the Personal original unless you send the new link. A share link is not a municipal Start review session. Reviewers who must comment on the map need the review workflow, not only the UUID. Review for organizers. What good looks like You copied Sharable link after Auto-save: saved. The municipality opens the UUID, pans to the Austin works, zooms in, and reads the signs. They do not see How to?. They cannot open Edit sign on a combination board. Acme Events colleagues who are not the assigned editor can look, and only you (the assigned editor) can change the drawing. You did not paste the URL on a public page.

🛣️ Traffic plans

Working with signs

Traffic plans are built from the sign catalog for this plan’s Country. This page is everyday place, stack, label, and edit. A row of the same sign along a line is Place bulk signs along a line. Offset stacks are in Advanced sign placement. Use this when you are drawing one sign at a time. Skip it if you only need a share link or a PDF. Find and place 1. Open Traffic Objects → Signs. 2. Confirm the country list at the top of Signs. A toast such as Showing signs for The Netherlands (Nederland) based on traffic plan follows that choice. 3. Type in Search traffic signs, or open a category. Categories depend on the country. In English you will typically see some of: Most used, Speed, Priority, Road Closure, Mandatory Direction, Parking & Stopping, Commands & Prohibitions, Traffic Regulations, Built-up Area, Warning, Direction, Information, Waterways, Custom, Subsigns, Roadwork, Symbols, Pedestrians / School, Emission zones, Events. On Pro and organization accounts, Favorites comes first: the signs you starred yourself. Favorite signs. 4. Collapse all / Expand all when the list is long. 5. Click a sign, then click the map. If the search is empty: No signs found. If the catalog itself fails: Could not load traffic signs — refresh and retry. Signs catalog — Search traffic signs and categories Search the catalog and place a sign on the map The sign-count control opens Items in the right sidebar. Expand Traffic signs to see quantities by sign type, and Post symbols when the plan has controller posts. Equivalent combination boards are grouped; boards with different text or appearance stay separate. These counts cover the whole plan, not only the current PDF pages. Use them to spot a plate you placed twice by accident. Traffic plan legend and Items. Details with nothing selected: No sign selected. Click a stack first. Placement is checked against the free sign limit, participating municipalities, and whether the plan is Paid. If the app blocks you, follow the dialog. Full rules: Billing, free use, and credits and I can’t place more signs. Wrong catalog: Wrong country or missing traffic signs. Move, rotate, duplicate, remove Click a placed stack. The toolbar: Control Does Move sign Drag the real location Displace sign stack Offset the drawing; Pro. Details in the advanced article Rotate sign Turn the stack Duplicate sign Copy the stack next to the original Edit sign Opens Details Remove signs Deletes the whole stack Each plate in a stack also has Remove sign. Duplicate sign counts toward the free sign limit like any other placement. On an unpaid plan, a copy that takes you past the allowance opens the payment dialog. Pay or spend a credit and the copies stay. Close the dialog and the copies that were over the limit are removed again. The button is unavailable while you are still placing another sign. Moving into a non-participating area can hit the free limit. Approved or in-review plans disable these controls. Tooltips: Plan is approved and locked, Plan is under review, Plan is locked, or Plan is read-only. If PDF preview is On and the XL rectangle is unlocked: Lock the preview map to select this object. Click Lock preview map, then select the stack. Details: text, labels, address Select the stack and open Details (or Edit sign). Sign text appears when that plate allows or requires inscription. If you see Please select a road type, choose it before the text field accepts input. Length limits show in the form. Label is a short crew tag on the stack (maximum Only 20 characters are allowed when enforced). Use Show labels / Hide labels on the map when you want those tags visible while drawing. Address and Coordinates (Latitude, Longitude) describe the location. Prefer Search address to navigate; use coordinates when a municipality asks for them. If the plate is a traffic-controller post, Details may include Manage post orders? Open post orders. That panel is Post orders: Post items, Posts, Post name (label), Orders, Google Maps, Go to post. Full walkthrough: Materials list and post orders. Timeslots on Details is marked Coming soon. The line under it is We are working on time slots for signs. Use the plan Start and End until that ships. Do not wait on Timeslots for a permit drawing. Sign stacking Enable sign stacking / Disable sign stacking sits on the right of the map (with PDF preview and Show labels). Stacking is on by default. The control reads Enable / Disable plus sign stacking. The sign stacking control on the map chrome, with a placed sign selected With stacking on, placing a sign on an existing location adds a plate to that pole. With stacking off, a nearby click starts a new location. Select a stack to reorder visually by removing and placing, to Remove sign on one plate, or to edit Details. The materials list can add Stacked signs as a mounting overview. Note on that section: This is a mounting overview per post. The quantities for the individual signs are already included in the materials totals above. Those quantities are already in the totals above that section. Dense intersections often combine stacks with Displace sign stack so plates do not sit on top of each other on paper. Combination signs Custom boards live in a full editor titled Combination sign (Build your sign with text and icons). Open it with Edit sign on a placed template. That editor has its own article: Combination signs. Do not skip it if you build detour boards — validation (Check the sign), Name on the materials list (This is how it appears on the material list.), and unsaved-changes behavior all live there. Public share viewers see the finished board snapshot, not the editor catalog. Request a missing item If the catalog has no match, Request Item (24h) at the bottom of Signs. Describe the code, country, and what you need. Continue with the closest available sign if the works cannot wait. You can also email customer@traffic-chart.com. The form and what happens next: Request a missing sign or object. Older plans from before 01-10-24 Opening some older drawings can toast: It seems like you have imported an old traffic plan. When (re)using plans made before 01-10-24, previously placed items may have shifted and will need to be adjusted once to ensure the correct location. This is due to the improved surfaces and the export function of the system. For signs with text, please select each sign and reselect the road type to regenerate the text. Do that once. Move sign any stack that no longer sits on the roadway. Open Details, pick the road type again, and confirm Sign text. Then Save. What good looks like The catalog country matches the road authority. Stacks have short unique Labels. Required Sign text and road type are filled. Combination boards Save without validation errors. Sign counts under Items match the whole plan; check the exported materials separately when you export only some map pages. Timeslots is left as Coming soon.

📅 Event plans

Import a GPX route into an event plan

Import a .gpx file to bring a recorded walking or cycling route into your event plan, then edit it like another route. Use this when you already have a route from a GPS device or mapping app. For a short route without a file, draw it under Lines & Routes instead: Event objects, areas, and routes. Import the file 1. Open an event plan you can edit and wait for the map to finish loading. 2. Click Import GPX in the left map tools. 3. Select a .gpx file from your computer. 4. Wait for Successfully imported GPX file. The map moves to the imported route. 5. Select the route on the map or in Layers. It starts as a Pedestrian Route, using the route name in the file or the filename when no route name is present. 6. Use Details to check the name, color, line style and direction. Save, or wait for Auto-save: saved. The file can contain routes or tracks. Separate track segments retain their gaps; the import does not draw a line across a missing segment. A file containing only waypoint markers has no route to import. Importing again adds another set of routes. It does not replace the previous import. Remove an unwanted duplicate from the plan before saving. Include the route in a PDF Frame the route inside an export area and export the event plan. Add the route to Legend when readers need a key, and check Legend in the export sidebar. Event plan legend and Export an event plan. An imported route is a drawing. It does not place event objects, count as an object for municipal review routing, or add live roadwork information. For Dutch roadwork context, use MELVIN: Event map layers. What good looks like - The route follows the expected streets or paths, with gaps where the recorded track has separate segments. - Its name, color and arrows explain how visitors or cyclists should use it. - The saved plan and downloaded PDF show the route inside the intended site layout. If something blocks you Situation What to try Failed to import GPX file Check that the file contains a route or track with at least two valid coordinates. Try a simpler export from your mapping app, or draw the route manually. Import GPX is missing Open a plan you can edit. Import is hidden in read-only views and while exporting. Route is missing from the PDF Frame it inside an export area and export again. Route appears twice Import adds routes; delete the duplicate rather than importing again.

🔧 Troubleshooting

My plan does not appear in the list

This page finds a traffic or event plan that seems to have vanished. My traffic plans library — search, folders, Traffic plans and Event plans tabs The usual cause is the wrong workspace. Home only shows recent items for the current workspace. A plan on Acme Events does not appear while you are on Personal, and the other way around. Switch workspace first 1. Click your initials and first name. 2. Under Switch workspace, open Personal (badge P) and each organization. 3. Then open Plans — not only Home. See all plans on Home also opens the library for the workspace you are in now. The last workspace you opened is remembered. New plans from Home go there. If a row is grayed out, read the reason: Your membership is suspended, Organization suspended, Workspace not enabled yet, Organization unavailable, This workspace is not currently available., or Suspended. You cannot list private plans in a workspace you cannot open. Workspace unavailable or not enabled. Accept invitation does not switch workspace. After you join Acme Events, still open Switch workspace and pick it. Traffic vs event On Plans, tabs switch between Traffic plans and Event plans when Event plans are on for that workspace. The title tells you the workspace: My traffic plans / My event plans (Personal) or Acme Events traffic plans / Acme Events event plans (organization name plus the plan type). If the Event plans tab says Not enabled for Personal. (or Not enabled for Acme Events.), you cannot create or list event plans there. A traffic plan will never appear on the event tab.

Event objects, areas, and routes

This page is the drawing lesson for an event plan: catalog objects, zones, routes, and map labels. Create the plan first. Then stay here while you fill the site. Event Objects catalog with Search objects and Request item (24h) on a painted site map When you need this Use it when the editor is already open and you need to place something on the map. Skip it if you only need to create the plan, export a PDF, or wait on municipal review. Those are Event plans handbook, Export an event plan, and Review for organizers. Wait until the map is ready. If you click too soon, Objects can toast Map is not ready yet. There is no Texts module in the right-hand strip. Labels go on the map with Add text. Comments is municipal review, not a drawing tab. Where drawing lives The right-hand strip has five modules when you are signed in: Objects, Areas, Lines & Routes, Legend, and Comments. Each drawing module has two tabs at the top of the panel: the catalog tab, then Details. Select something on the map, then open Details. If nothing is selected, Details says Select an object, object row, area, line or text to view its details. A selected object row opens Details with the heading Object row. A repeating run of the same object is not one-by-one clicks. Use Place objects along a line on the left stack: Place a row of event objects. Legend is the PDF key: Event plan legend. Export is a header button, not a module. Save and Auto-save sit in the header. Wait until Auto-save: saved (or a finished Save) before you close the tab. Add text is the Aa control on the left of the map. It is a map tool. It is not a sidebar tab. Layers on the left of the map lists what you already placed: Event Objects, Event Areas, Lines & Routes, Object rows, and Texts. From a row you can Zoom to, Lock item / Unlock item, and Show labels / Hide labels for that layer. Lock entire layer / Unlock entire layer locks every item in that group. An empty group says No items in this layer. A row with no name falls back to Object, Area, Line, Object row, or Text. If the plan is locked, Objects, Areas, and Lines & Routes stay disabled.

If the object layer is not ready, the app toasts Map is not ready yet. Wait, then try again. Need a type that is not in the list? Use Request item (24h) at the bottom of Objects. That opens a request form. Describe the item. Keep drawing with the closest type if the event cannot wait. Need a fence run, a line of toilets, or another repeating type? Click Place objects along a line instead of placing each object. Place a row of event objects. Placed event objects are what in-app review uses to attach the plan to a municipality.
