The MUTCD provides the national standards for traffic control devices and procedures, ensuring uniformity and safety in traffic management across all states.
California regulations mandate flaggers wear ANSI-approved high-visibility clothing to enhance their visibility and safety during both day and night operations.
The flagger’s position is determined by the specific requirements of the traffic control plan and the layout of the work zone to ensure maximum safety and visibility.
Temporary traffic control devices should be removed as soon as they are no longer required to guide or protect traffic, ensuring they do not cause unnecessary confusion or hazards.
The MUTCD specifies the minimum distance for placing warning signs based on the speed of traffic to ensure drivers have adequate time to react and adjust.
