America Walks E.D. Mike McGinn and League of American Bicyclists E.D. Bill Nesper on ‘a once in a decade or more opportunity–’ the revising of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
The MUTCD is at once an ‘obscure’ document and ‘bible’ for engineers, controlling bikeways, crosswalks, speed limits, and other road design features.
The new administration and USDOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg give active transportation advocates reason to hope that the Manual will be rewritten with pedestrians and bicyclists in mind.
