Development of a Short Course Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for the Alabama Department of Transportation

摘要

This project developed a one-day short course on the Manual on Uniform Manual Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT). Portions of the MUTCD are changed from time to time, and in 2001 a significantly revised version was published as the new 'Millennium' edition. It had been over 20 years since a new edition had been published, and the changes were significant. The short course discussed the general contents of the MUTCD, identified changes incorporated into the Millennium edition, and discussed their impacts. The University Transportation Center for Alabama taught the course six times to 257 individuals at four ALDOT Division offices across the State (Birmingham, Guntersville, Mobile, and Montgomery) in the spring of 2002.
