Online MUTCD

Posted on June 22, 2005 by John Day

The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices is available, free of charge, online at the Federal Highway Administration website. The site not only has the latest 2003 edition, but goes back as far as the 1993 revisions. You should be able to find the right edition to address any pending or potential claim for a roadway that is dangerously unmarked. Compliance with the MUTCD is necessary, but not always sufficient. The MUTCD and the law still require reasonableness by a contractor or highway planner.

The MUTCD is incorporated by reference into the regulations of the Tennessee Department of Transportation. Therefore, violation of the MUTCD is negligence per se.

www.highwaysignsearch.com now offers a low cost solution to search the MUTCD. I have had a terrible time trying to look through the MUTCD and find all of the regulations and other information necessary. href="http://www.highwaysignsearch.com">HighwaySignSearch has donw this and done it with a simple web interface. It is so fast. The $200 for a membership is well worth it. I have made that up and more in the time I save. I am so glad a private business has finally done what the FHA can't do.
