Summary

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.

"This Manual, with subsequent revisions, shall apply to all traffic control devices installed on or after adoption of this manual upon the highways, roads, and streets of this State except that traffic control devices conforming to the 2006 Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways Revision 1 on order or under contract prior to adoption of this manual may be installed. All existing traffic control devices or installations not in conformance with standards in this Manual shall be changed to conform to the new standards herein when replacement becomes necessary. Traffic control devices not previously required but which are required by new standards in this Manual shall be installed by the date indicated on the "Phase in Compliance Dates"." --Phil Wilson, p.iii
