NEW Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), 2009 Edition
http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/

The MUTCD 2009 Edition REPLACES the MUTCD 2003 Edition with Revisions 1 and 2. The MUTCD is incorporated into Federal regulations as the national standard for traffic control devices on all public roads and bike paths. Make sure you have the latest edition.

Look for these and many other important changes in the MUTCD 2009 Edition: interim approval process for new traffic control devices; chapter on traffic incident management; section on countdown pedestrian signals; considerations for pedestrians and workers in temporary traffic control zones; provision for in-street pedestrian signs; recommendations for letter height on street name signs; use of yield markings at un-signalized mid-block pedestrian crosswalks; and provision for high visibility clothing for workers.

The Manual may be pre-ordered now from ATSSA, ITE or AASHTO for delivery in March.

What is LTAP?
Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) was established in 1981 as the Rural Technical Assistance Program (RTAP). It is the primary way that the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) helps local transportation agencies learn about maintaining and improving their roads, innovative methods and materials and ways to work smarter.

LTAP strives to bridge the gap between research and practice by conducting training sessions and demonstrations and by serving as a clearinghouse for information related to state-of-the-art technology in the construction and maintenance of roads and bridges.

Colorado LTAP is sponsored by The Federal Highway Administration,
Colorado Department of Transportation and University of Colorado at Boulder
