Bulletin Board

The FINAL versions of the Metric and English Standard Highway Signs Book 2002 Edition are now available online. The Standard Highway Signs Book 2002 Edition is a companion document to the MUTCD, Millennium Edition, Revision 1. However, the Standard Highway Signs Book contains some frequently-used designs that are not found in the MUTCD.

Please note: the 2002 Edition of the SHS book does not match the data in the 2003 Edition of the MUTCD. The SHS book is being revised, and will be available later in 2003.

Please pass this information along to your State DOT contacts, especially those responsible for sign fabrication.

Traffic Data Collection Equipment Available

As part of the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) the Technology Transfer Center can provide traffic data collection assistance. If your agency is planning to install a signal, erect a stop sign, or perform any traffic engineering study, you are encouraged to contact the Center and request our assistance. Arrangements can be made to either deliver the equipment or to have it picked up by someone you choose. If you need training in how to use the equipment that's available also. So, please call us at 1-800-573-6445 or (404)-656-4664.
