The Style Guide for America’s Highways
MUTCD is great if you&#x27;re in a car on a grade separated highway. But it&#x27;s staggeringly awful for when you&#x27;re outside of a car.<p>It could even be argued that the MUTCD is awful for driving in an urban area. MUTCD designs streets similarly to rural highways, and this can create conditions where people speed when they need to be driving slowly, because the design of the street doesn&#x27;t reflect the speed the sign says you need to be driving.<p>The MUTCD needs a different approach to urban streets. One that creates an environment where making a mistake doesn&#x27;t lead to death. One where the design of the street reflects the posted speed limit. It will make the experience better for everyone.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;americawalks.org&#x2F;how-the-mutcd-creates-unsafe-conditions-for-people-trying-to-access-food&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;americawalks.org&#x2F;how-the-mutcd-creates-unsafe-condit...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nacto.org&#x2F;program&#x2F;modernizing-federal-standards&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nacto.org&#x2F;program&#x2F;modernizing-federal-standards&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bloomberg.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;articles&#x2F;2021-05-05&#x2F;it-s-time-to-rewrite-the-road-builders-rule-book" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bloomberg.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;articles&#x2F;2021-05-05&#x2F;it-s-time...</a>
