MUTCD's & Traffic Control Devices Information by State

The 2009 Edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) was published on December 16, 2009. The adopted changes are effective as of January 15, 2010. 23 CFR provides the States with a 2-year period from the effective date to adopt the MUTCD. By January 15, 2012, States are required to adopt the National Manual or have a State MUTCD/supplement that is in substantial conformance with the National Manual. The role of our FHWA Division Offices is to review and approve any State MUTCD or supplement that is in substantial conformance with the National MUTCD. (23 CFR 655.603(b)). The FHWA's MUTCD Team will be compiling and periodically updating information on which States have State MUTCDs or supplements and the MUTCD 2009 Edition adoption status of each State. That information will be posted on this Web site when available.

As a convenience to MUTCD users, the FHWA MUTCD Team has compiled information on the States' web sites where electronic documents related to traffic control devices can be accessed. These documents include State MUTCDs, State Supplements to the MUTCD, State policies and practices regarding traffic control devices, State sign/signal/markings manuals, drawings, and catalogs, and State standard drawings ("typicals") for traffic control devices.

Links listed within the individual state information web pages were functional and were as complete as possible as of October 2005. Naturally, the States are constantly updating their documents as well as revising their web sites, so users of the lists of each State's available web information may encounter non-functional links. If that occurs, please contact the applicable State D.O.T. traffic engineering office [list of these contacts (PDF - To view PDF files, you need the Adobe Acrobat Reader.)] to obtain the needed information, and please ask the State to provide the FHWA MUTCD Team with updated link information so we can keep this page up to date.
