Purpose of Handbook
The main purposes of this handbook are to:
- provide design personnel with information that will help them improve the statewide consistency and effectiveness of freeway signing layout and placement
- provide freeway guide signing that will help road users find their way in a more effective and efficient manner
- address guide signing situations that are not covered in the Texas MUTCD or other TxDOT documents.
This handbook is intended for application primarily on urban
freeway facilities. Some portions of the handbook also apply to
freeway signing in rural areas.
Although this handbook illustrates the use and placement of
regulatory, warning, and guide signs, it does not establish any
warrants or standards for the selection and placement of regulatory,
warning, and guide signs.
