The 2003 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) Edition was published on November 20, 2003. The adopted changes were effective on December 22, 2003. 23 CFR provides the States with a 2-year period from the effective date to adopt the MUTCD. Therefore, by December 22, 2005 States were required to have adopted 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. (23CFR 655.603(b). This list includes Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. as States.

Al Ho, FHWA NM Div. (4/11/05) |
Adopted in accordance with the State Transportation
Commission Resolution No. 2003-5(July). Only modification is to
Section 5A.01 Standard B: Removed the wording that disallows a road
on designated state highway system from qualifying as a low volume
road. The exception is required due to the many miles of low-volume
unpaved roads designated as State Highways. Disallowing a state
highway from qualifying as a low-volume road would put a significant
burden on our state to sign numerous miles of unpaved, dirt roads
to the same standards as our other roadways. |
