Strong Towns | 30 Days of Confessions: #4 The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices @strongtowns | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Welcome to our exclusive “30 Days of Confessions” Strong Towns video series, where Charles Marohn pulls back the curtain on the North American transportation system—everything that’s wrong with it, and how we can make it work better for everyone.
Here’s your fourth video, where Marohn discusses a codebook little known to those outside the engineering profession: The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. This engineering “bible” tends to be mindlessly followed by most engineers, despite the fact that it explicitly instructs them to use their own judgement when they do projects.
Transportation in America is getting worse, yet costing more. We have to do better. Read our new book "Confessions of a Recovering Engineer: Transportation for a Strong Town" by Charles Marohn, to learn how: www.confessions.engineer
