Guidelines for implementing the standards and applications contained in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

The handbook, in its treatment of signs, pavement markings and signals, presents typical values or ranges of values used for implementing traffic control measures, as well as providing examples of contract plan sheets, specifications and work orders. With respect to signs, consideration is given to materials, equipment, installation, maintenance, vandalism, etc. The section on pavement markings includes materials, methods of application and application operations. Traffic signal design, operation, equipment, and maintenance are discussed, as are various types of signal systems.

The main purpose of this Low Volume Rural Road (LVR) Handbook is to assist the local government officials in providing traffic control and guidance for persons driving on LVR. The suggested practices in the LVR Handbook are in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2003 Edition (MUTCD 2003)and, in some cases, address more specifically the application of MUTCD 2003 to LVR. This handbook also includes background information on the characteristics of LVR.

"The purpose of the Traffic Control Devices Handbook (the Handbook or TCDH) is to augment the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (the Manual or MUTCD), as adopted nationally by the United States Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The Manual outlines the design and application of traffic control devices on roadways in the United States. However, criteria and data to make decisions on the use of a device and its application are not always fully covered in the Manual. This Handbook bridges the gap between the Manual provisions and those decisions to be made in the field on device usage and application"--Provided by publisher.

This "Traffic Control Systems Handbook" updates the 1985 edition (FHWA-IP-85-11; TRIS 00475445) and broadens the scope to include Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technology and concepts. The Handbook recommends decision-making processes in selection, implementation and operations of a traffic control system and describes ITS plans and programs. The "Traffic Control Systems Handbook": serves as a basic reference in planning, designing and implementing effective traffic control systems; provides an updated compendium of existing traffic control technology for the advanced designer and user; describes existing and evolving traffic control system technology; and aids understanding and facilitates training in the traffic control system field.
