Public Comment Opportunity

The California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices is being updated. The Manual dictates allowable types and usage standards, as well as guidance, for traffic control devices.

California MUTCD 2011 Draft Version – Open for Public Comment

The draft revision to California MUTCD which incorporates FHWA’s MUTCD 2009 Edition dated December 16, 2009 and the current California MUTCD dated January 21, 2010 is being developed. It also incorporates all policies on traffic control devices issued by the California Department of Transportation (such as TOPDs and memos) that have been issued since January 21, 2010 and other editorial, errata and format changes that were necessary to update the previous documents.  In addition, any California Traffic Control Device Committee’s (CTCDC) pending items (if any) for Caltrans actions are also being included in this draft revision update to the manual.

The individual parts, as they become ready are being posted on the California MUTCD website per weblink below:

The draft of the California MUTCD document, per available parts as they become available, is now open to the public for review and comment. Please note that comments over the phone will not be accepted. Comments may be submitted either electronically or mailed.

Deadline for Comments is January 24, 2011.
