Traffic Control Devices Handbook 2001, which replaces the out-of-print 1983 edition, augments the 2000 edition of MUTCD.The handbook provides guidance and information to implement the provisions of MUTCD and bridges the gap between MUTCD requirements and field applications.The information is written specifically for smaller jurisdictions, replacing the need for outside technical expertise. The handbook does not establish policy, procedures, or standards for an agency or set the standard of care for decisions on traffic control devices. It is meant as guidance material to assist in determining the appropriate device(s) for a specific condition based on judgment and/or study. The handbook includes 14 chapters covering the wide variety of traffic control devices available to meet the public's needs. There are chapters on low-volume rural roads as well as residential streets. Separate chapters are provided for signs, markings, traffic signals, railroad-highway grade crossings and temporary (construction) traffic controls.
