Individual states have until January 18, 2026 to adopt the 11th Edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and/or a state supplement/manual that is in substantial conformance with the 11th Edition MUTCD.

In late January 2025, Gene Hawkins, chair of the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (NCUTCD), surveyed states to identify how they are adopting the 11th Edition MUTCD on an individual state basis, along with their progress toward that adoption.

Tune in on March 24 to hear a summary from Gene of individual state actions toward adoption, based on a similar presentation he made at the American Traffic Safety Services Association’s 2025 Convention. He’ll take time at the end of the presentation to address a few of the most common questions we receive.

For more information on how the MUTCD is revised, and to access past editions, visit mutcd.kittelson.com.
