This document contains amendments to the MUTCD as adopted by the FHWA. The MUTCD is incorporated by reference in 23 CFR part 655,
subpart F and recognized as the national standard for traffic control devices on all public roads.
The amendments herein change various sections of Part 3, Markings, of the MUTCD. The FHWA is adopting the amendments pursuant to section
406 of the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, FY 1993, which requires that the MUTCD include a national standard to define the roads that must have center line or edge line markings or both, provided that in setting such a standard, consideration be given to the functional classification of roads, traffic volumes, and the number and width of lanes. The FHWA has also
received requests to include such standards in the MUTCD for center line or edge line markings. The MUTCD amendments contain the requirements and recommendations for the uniform application and use of center line and edge line markings on streets and highways. The amendments are intended to improve traffic operations and safety through consistent and uniform use of such markings.
The final rule is effective January 3, 2000.
