Roadway Signs I

This 3-hour course is the first of two in this series that focuses on how to effectively use signs to guide roadway traffic, and thereby reduce your liability exposure. Traffic signs are the primary communication devices used for informing drivers of regulations, roadway conditions, etc. within work zones. The goal is to provide drivers with relevant information when they need it – resulting in safer, more efficient roadways with reduced liability risks.

The contents of this course are intended to serve as guidance and not as an absolute standard or rule. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD) 2009 Edition- Part 2 will serve as a course reference for the fundamental design principles of traffic signs. The MUTCD is recognized as the national standard for all traffic control devices installed on any street, highway, bikeway, or private road open to public travel. Should there be any discrepancies between the contents of this course and the MUTCD – always follow the MUTCD.

Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions to earn 3 PDH credits
