The MUTCD contains basic principles that govern the design and use of traffic control devices for all streets, highways, bikeways, and private roads open to public travel (see definition in Section 1A.13) regardless of type or class or the public agency, official, or owner having jurisdiction.
Courses in this category are focused on increasing knowledge and understanding of the federal regulatory framework provided by the MUTCD to improve application and practices used in work zones by road construction contractors, supervisors, and workers.
Nine basic types of Temporary Traffic Control Devices (TTCDs) are commonly used in Work Zones: signs, channelizing devices, crash cushions, pavement markings, arrow panels, portable changeable message signs (PCMS), warning lights, traffic signals, and truck-mounted attenuators (TMAs). Each lesson presents specific learning objectives related to a specific type of TTCD. Key objectives for the course include:
- Identify specific devices by name,
- Identify associated colors and/or shapes,
- Match devices with work zone speeds, if applicable
- Identify proper placement and/or spacing
- Identify clear, simple messages
