Transportation Engineering and Safety Conference 2024

This session will feature presentations on the history, recent changes, and vision of the national Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).  Significant and consequential changes in the MUTCD 11th edition, effective January 2024, will impact the type, size and location of traffic control devices across the US. Moving forward, provisions for key priorities are increasingly important, such as the safety and mobility of vulnerable road users and automated vehicles. Presenters will discuss these topics, and more, as they pertain to practitioners.
