Abstract:Local transportation agencies are responsible for a significant investment in traffic control
devices and pavement markings. Thousands of signs and other inventory items, equipment,
facilities, and staff are all dedicated to the installation and maintenance of devices and markings
critical to the safety and convenience of the traveling public.
General requirements and responsibilities for these activities are contained in the Manual for
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and in the Code of Iowa. Further recommendations
for the administration of traffic control devices and pavement markings at the local level are
provided by the Iowa Department of Transportation and in many other documents from a variety
of sources. However, no single reference or guidance manual exists for the common traffic
control activities of local agencies in Iowa.
This research project (TR-441) was approved by the Iowa Highway Research Board in October
1999 to develop and distribute a manual that would provide local agencies with practical advice
and guidance for traffic control devices and pavement markings installation and maintenance.
