Description
Summary:transportation engineers are often required to determine the need for signal installation at intersections. The 1988 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), published by the Federal Highway Administration, is the most common reference material used by transportation engineers in the signal warranting process. A proposed update to this manual is currently in review by the FWHA. The update will reduce the number of traffic signal warrants by combining and eliminating warrants found in the 1988 MUTCD.
