Road signs in the United States

src: thumbs.dreamstime.com

In the United States, road signs are, to a large extent, standardized by federal regulations, especially in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Equipment (MUTCD) and their counterparts Highway Standard Signs (SHS). There are no plans to adopt the Vienna Convention on Standards of Signs and Road Signs.

Twenty-three states together with the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico use manuals without change, 20 countries have adopted it in conjunction with additional volumes, and seven states have country versions in substantial compliance with MUTCD. There are also local versions used in big cities like New York City that use MUTCD compatible naming systems and/or state supplements. MUTCD and SHS establish seven general categories of signs for road and highway use (all signs of the national MUTCD, except noted).

Rules

Regulatory signs provide instructions to motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists. Signs such as stop, no parking, no turns, and results are considered as a rule sign. Some have special shapes, such as octaves for stop signs and X forms for railway crossings. Some signs can be localized, such as no parking, and some are only found in state and local jurisdictions as they are based on state or local laws, such as the New York City "Do Not Block the Box" sign. These signs are in the R series of signs on the MUTCD and are usually in the R series in most state supplements or MUTCD countries.

Seri R2: Batas Kecepatan

The R2 MUTCD series is for speed limit signs. Some state supplements and MUTCD countries put various speed limit markers in other series. Because all situations are not covered, some states have their own standards other than MUTCD. Speed ​​limit in the United States in miles per hour. Metric speed limits within kilometers per hour are permitted but very rare, usually seen near the border with Canada and Mexico, both of which use the metric system. But many countries prohibit the use of metric signs on state-run roads, increasing the scarcity of these signs.

The MUTCD allows for three types of parking signs, permissive, no parking, and no standing. However, in most states, there are more stringent additions, not stopping.
