Excerpt:

"With The Crash Zone ... You will need to check out the various features, move symbols around, and print out drawings to see what they look like on paper. In a couple of hours you should be able to create a pretty decent diagram.."

"It has one nifty feature: a pre-drawn selection of roadways called Easy Intersection Toolbox.... this saves a tremendous amount of drawing time but it assumes the intersection is either a true "cross" intersection (90E) a T intersection, or that the roads intersect at 45E. You can still draw your own roads at any angle you wish, but the Easy Intersection feature is great for generic intersections."

Note from The CAD Zone - Easy Intersection actually does let you grab a road section and rotate it to a different angle. Just use your mouse to drag the end of the road to the desired angle!

"The Crash Zone also "has a wide variety of symbols. Besides a variety of shapes of cars, vans, buses, and semi-trailers, there are symbols for trains, water craft, commercial signs, and miscellaneous symbols for stuff in a wreck... You may drag & drop the more than 1000 symbols to anywhere in your diagram and place them at any angle, to any scale."

" If you use Laser Technology’s Quick Map 3D system, you can import LTI’s data into The Crash Zone ....You have unlimited undo/redo commands. You can directly load drawings created with AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT.... You may export diagrams to .DWG, .DXF, .WMF, .BMP, and .JPG formats... "
