Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices

The Texas Transportation Commission approved the new 2011 Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD) at their November meeting. The new manual became effective on Dec. 8, 2011.

The Texas MUTCD governs the placement of signs signals and pavement markings on every public road in Texas and on certain private property. Under state law, each road authority, including the TxDOT, is required to follow the provisions of the manual.

The purpose of having a single manual is to ensure that traffic control devices are applied uniformly across the state as well as the nation. This type of uniformity helps improve the overall safety and efficiency of our roadways.
