Which organization publishes the MUTCD?

Which organization publishes the MUTCD?

• A. Federal Aviation Administration
• B. National Park Service
• C. American Public Works Association
• D. FHWA and NHTSA

Answer: (D)

The main concept is identifying who publishes the national standard for road traffic control devices. The MUTCD is the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, which sets the nationwide rules for signs, signals, and pavement markings. It is published by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in the U.S. Department of Transportation, with input from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The other organizations listed don’t publish the MUTCD—the FAA handles aviation, the National Park Service manages parks, and the American Public Works Association is a professional body, not a standards publisher.
