MUTCD Final Rule
The Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MU  TCD) Final Rule was published in the Federal Register December 16, 2009. The MUTCD defines the standards used by road managers nationwide to install and
maintain traffic control devices on all public streets, highways,
bikeways and private roads open to public traffic. States must adopt the 2009 National MUTCD as their legal State standard for traffic control devices within two years. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published the new edition of the MUTCD at mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov. The MUTCD Web site includes a series of documents detailing changes from the 2003
edition and additional materials are available upon request. |
