(Ebook) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways by John Jaeger, N. G. Cook, Robert Zimmerman ISBN 9781601199300, 1601199309

The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), 2003 Edition, contains standards for the installation and maintenance of traffic control devices that regulate, warn, and guide road users along all streets and highways across the nation. This new edition represents major revisions in development since 2000, including: Interim approval process for new traffic control devices and applications; New chapter on temporary traffic control for traffic incident management that includes new color scheme for incident management signs; New section on pedestrian countdown signals and “animated eyes”; New considerations for pedestrians and workers in temporary traffic control zones, including consideration for pedestrians with disabilities; New provision for in-street pedestrian signs; New recommendations for increased letter height on street name signs; New use of yield markings at un-signalized mid-block pedestrian crosswalks; and New provisions for high visibility clothing for workers and flaggers.
