Six Months of the New MUTCD: What It Means for You and Your Projects

The new MUTCD was released in December 2023. If you are not already using it, you likely will be soon! In this webinar, one of the country’s foremost MUTCD experts will provide his take on the new MUTCD.

Tune in to hear from Gene Hawkins, chair of the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (NCUTCD), on what you need to know about the 11^th Edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

Gene will focus on what’s new in the 2023 MUTCD compared to prior editions. He will also highlight how it affects new projects, states’ adoption of the new manual, and what to expect in the future. Gene’s presentation may help answer questions such as: Why was the MUTCD revised? What’s new and different compared to the 2009 MUTCD? Should I be using the new MUTCD now in my state?

When you register for this event through GoToWebinar, you’ll have an opportunity to submit other questions about the new MUTCD. Gene will will take time at the end of the presentation to address a few of the most common questions we receive. (We will not be collecting questions live, so be sure to get your question in when you RSVP!)
