Purpose of Field Book

The main purpose of this field book is to:
  • provide field personnel with information that will help them install traffic signs on conventional highways in a more effective and consistent manner,
  • increase uniformity in the placement of traffic signs on conventional highways for the benefit of the traveling public, and
  • address guide signing situations that are not covered in the Texas MUTCD or other TxDOT documents.
This field book is intended for application mainly on rural, conventional (non-access controlled) highways.
The information in this field book is presented as guidance information for use by field personnel.
This field book illustrates the use and/or placement of traffic signs, but does not establish any standards, specifications, warrants or regulations.
This field book carries no legal authority, and does not replace or supersede the
Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
