Agent-hostile
2.8 /5 composite score
Solid -- the market-leading traffic control plan specialist with transparent published pricing (RapidPlan $799/yr, RapidPlan Online $540/yr, 14-day free trial) and a genuine global footprint (10,000+ businesses, offices in North America/Europe/Asia Pacific, founded 2001), purpose-built for MUTCD-compliant work-zone design; but the desktop/web GUI-only interface with no public API/CLI (RF2) limits agent-driven workflows to file-based import/export (CAD, PDF, SVG, KML/KMZ).
