The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), which is published by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), provides the standards, guidance, and options used by state and local government agencies nationwide to design, install, operate, and maintain traffic control devices on all public streets, highways, bikeways, and private roads open to public traffic.

This session will familiarize you with the format, applicability and compliance aspects of the significant revisions to the MUTCD that have been incorporated into the 2009 Edition. The program will address the nine parts of the Manual and the significant changes in each.

The participants in this seminar will become familiar with the revised format of the new MUTCD, learn about the most significant revisions to the standards, guidance, and options included in the MUTCD for all traffic control devices including signs, pavement markings, traffic control signals and more.

Participants will have an opportunity to ask the presenters about the changes and why they were made.

After viewing this program participants will be better able to:

• Conceptualize the significant changes in the 2009 MUTCD
• Explain why these changes were made
• Determine when these changes need to be made in the field.
