Road, Raster, Vector & OS Transport Planning Maps
UK Map Centre supplies the base mapping — you overlay your own transport layouts, traffic management schemes, route drawings and access plans. Our Ordnance Survey datasets support CAD and GIS workflows for engineers, planners and logistics teams across Great Britain.
CAD Data — MasterMap & Terrain 5 for Transport Design
Editable vector mapping for AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit and similar CAD platforms. Use as your base mapping for detailed roadworks, junction layouts, roundabout geometry and turning-radius checks for abnormal-load or turbine delivery routes.
- OS MasterMap Topography (AOI) — carriageways, kerbs, boundaries and structures
- OS Terrain 5 DTM (CAD) — 5 m elevation model for gradients, cut/fill and drainage
- OS VectorMap Local 1:10 000 (AOI) — clean contextual base for corridor and town planning
All CAD data supplied in DWG/DXF, georeferenced to the British National Grid (OSGB36). Common uses include traffic management plans, TTRO submissions, turbine delivery sweeps and temporary road diversions.
GIS Data — Vector, Raster & Terrain Layers
Multi-layered GIS datasets for QGIS, ArcGIS and other mapping platforms. Combine OS MasterMap, VectorMap Local, and Terrain 5 to analyse transport corridors, slope gradients, and access feasibility.
- OS MasterMap Topography (AOI) — detailed vector base for roads and infrastructure
- OS MasterMap Tiles (1 km) — vector coverage for corridor and regional mapping
- OS Terrain 5 (AOI) & Terrain 5 Tiles — elevation & contour data for slope analysis
- 1:10 000 Raster GeoTIFF — backdrop for regional or urban transport planning
- OS Aerial Imagery (AOI) — orthorectified aerial context for verification
Supplied in SHP, GeoPackage, GeoTIFF, GML or DWG/DXF. Perfect for traffic-flow modelling, route optimisation, and infrastructure feasibility studies.
Basic Overview Maps — PDF, Raster & Aerial Extracts
Simple Ordnance Survey extracts for road-closure drawings, diversion routes and traffic-management planning. Each includes a north arrow, scale bar and OS licence number — fully council-compliant for submission.
- 1:1250 Location Plan — the industry standard for road layouts, turning studies, and local access
- 1:2500 Plan — wider context showing approach roads and adjoining estates
- 1:10 000 Raster Map — regional overview or corridor background
- Aerial 1:1250 & Aerial 1:2500 — orthophotos for site and terrain review
- 1:25 000 OS Explorer Map — landscape-level view for route context and gradients
The 1:1250 scale remains the preferred dataset for TTRO submissions, roadwork layouts and temporary traffic control plans. Use broader scales such as the OS Explorer 1:25,000 for corridor-level route assessment.
About OS Transport Planning Mapping
Our datasets integrate OS MasterMap, OS VectorMap Local (1:10 000), OS Terrain 5 and Raster Tiles to create a precise, georeferenced foundation for transport design and submissions. They form the trusted base mapping for roadworks, logistics routes, TTRO drawings and infrastructure analysis across Great Britain.

- Compatible with QGIS, ArcGIS, AutoCAD, Revit & Civil 3D
- Fully georeferenced to British National Grid (EPSG 27700)
- Fast digital delivery — typically within 30 minutes (7 am – 11 pm)
Frequently Asked Questions — OS Transport Planning Mapping
Can these maps be used for traffic-work planning and TTRO submissions?
Yes — our OS base mapping is widely used for traffic-management layouts, roadworks and diversions, including TTRO (Temporary Traffic Regulation Order) submissions to local authorities. You add your proposed works, signage, or diversion routes within CAD or GIS software.
Can I use the data for turbine delivery or abnormal-load routes?
Yes. Engineers frequently use OS MasterMap and OS Terrain 5 data to plan turbine and abnormal-load deliveries, analysing turning radii, gradients, clearances and access points along each route.
Do the maps show live traffic or road condition data?
No — we provide official Ordnance Survey base mapping only. You can overlay your own traffic data, closure zones or live feeds on top of our OS background in CAD or GIS.
Which scales are best for transport and road projects?
1:1250 — detailed road design, junctions and turning paths
1:2500 — small developments or industrial estates
1:10 000 Raster — city-wide or regional mapping
1:25 000 Explorer — wider catchment and terrain context
Are these datasets compatible with CAD and GIS?
Yes — supplied in DWG, DXF, SHP, GML, GeoPackage and GeoTIFF formats, compatible with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, QGIS and ArcGIS.
Who typically uses OS Transport Mapping?
Highway engineers, logistics coordinators, transport planners, local authority teams and utility contractors use OS datasets as the background base mapping for route planning, roadworks drawings, and TTRO applications.
