Create and Manage Traffic Posts

The Traffic Post feature allows you to overlay Pins on a Map to indicate the location of barricades or personnel for the diversion of traffic near a facility. You can include a post number, location and units assigned as well as provide additional information that can be shared with plan collaborators and reviewers in the Plan's PDF Worksheet.

In this article, we will explain:

  • How to add a Traffic Post to your Plan
  • How to edit a Traffic Post
  • How to move a Traffic Post
  • How to delete a Traffic Post

MOVE A TRAFFIC POST


Both Traffic Posts and their informational Flags can be moved anywhere on the main section of the Map. For example, you may need to place a Traffic Post and then move its Flag out of the way so a detail (such as a particular buidling) on the map is still visible to users.


To move a Traffic Post, move your mouse cursor over it and click and hold (Fig. 4) — the pin can then be dragged to any location on the map. Release the mouse button after reaching the desired position to drop the Traffic Post.
