• Abstract:
  The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 1948 edition, has been amended as shown herein on the recommendation of the National Joint Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and with the formal approval of its three parent organizations, the American Association of State Highway Officials, the Institute of Traffic Engineers, and the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Laws and Ordinances. As in the case of previous revisions of this manual, it is assumed that traffic control devices acquired and installed hereafter will conform to the amended standards and that existing nonstandard equipment will be replaced within a reasonable period as it wears out. The changes are given in order, according to the numbered manual sections to which they apply. In each case, immediately following the section title, there is a brief note on the nature of the revised material and the point of its insertion. These comments, not an actual part of the revised test, are printed in italics. As a matter of convenience in use, this pamphlet is printed on one side of the page only, and where practicable the changes are set up in the same style as the Manual (1948 edition). Thus, for the most part, the changes can be inserted in the manual by cutting them from this pamphlet and pasting them directly over or adjacent to the superseded material. In a number of instances, it is apparent that the revision of one section of the manual will require corresponding changes in the other sections. In such cases the affected sections are listed herein, but their specific editorial revision is to await the preparation of a complete new edition of the manual at some time in the future. Meanwhile these secondary changes can be indicated, in most cases, by relatively simple pen-and-ink corrections or deletions. Of course, where sections so modified are also amended for other reasons, the revised text contains all changes.
