Category:903 Highway Signing (MUTCD Part 2): Difference between revisions

Support. The standards, guidance and options this article of the EPG relates directly to the signing installed within the right-of-way of highways maintained by MoDOT.

Because MoDOT does not use many of the "common" size signs in the FHWA’s Standard Highway Signs and Markings book, we produced our own sign detail policy,  Sign Management System Sign (SMS) Catalog (for internal use only). MoDOT's SMS Sign Catalog meets and/or exceeds the minimums of the FHWA’s Standard Highway Signs and Markings book. MoDOT's Highway Safety and Traffic Division is responsible for sign design on the state highway system. Any unique sign or sign that isn't currently in the SMS Sign Catalog will be designed using the principles and minimums in the FHWA’s Standard Highway Signs and Markings book and the current MUTCD.

The districts are responsible for proper review of signing plans for accuracy, to ensure that standards are met and deviations from the standards are justified.

MoDOT has the authority to install signs or any other traffic control device on state right-of-way or give permission to others to do so. MoDOT also has the authority to remove any devices not authorized from the right-of-way. Sections 226.010 and 227.220 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri authorize MoDOT to prescribe uniform traffic control devices on the state's highways.

Per Section 300.175 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, the display of unauthorized signs is prohibited.
