2000 MUTCD, Original, December 2000 cover

This is not the most current version of the MUTCD. The current version is the 11th Edition, dated December 2023.

Before you get into the specific types of amendments to the MUTCD Millennium Edition, take note of some format changes designed to make the publication much more user-friendly. For example, each Part will be printed separately in 3-ring binders, much easier to update. Redesigned text format in columns will help users identify STANDARDS - "shall" conditions; GUIDANCE - "should" conditions; OPTIONS - "may" conditions; and SUPPORT - descriptive and/or general information for designing, placing, and applying traffic control devices. Measurements are presented in both metric and English units. Tables rather than text illustrate various aspects of sign size and color.

You will also find new Sections and Sections with new names. A new numbering format eliminates the hyphen between Sections and subsections; 6A-2 is now 6A.02, for example. Additionally, each Part now carries a number designation (2) rather than a Roman numeral (II).
