Change List for the 2003 Edition of the MUTCD
Change List for the 2003 Edition of the MUTCD This change list was developed to acquaint readers of the 2003 Edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) with the significant changes that have been incorporated into the MUTCD since the Errata Version of the 2000 MUTCD was placed on FHWA’s MUTCD website on June 14, 2001. This change list compares the 2003 MUTCD to the Errata Version of the 2000 MUTCD, which was the version that was printed and sold by AASHTO, ATSSA, and ITE. The changes regarding the application of accessible pedestrian signals that were incorporated into the 2000 MUTCD in July 2002 as Revision 1 are included in this change list and are clearly marked as “Revision 1 changes”. All references to Parts, Chapters, Sections, figures, tables, paragraphs, items, and pages in this change list refer to the 2003 MUTCD, unless specifically stated otherwise for a particular reference. General Items A new cover design was developed for the 2003 Edition of the MUTCD in order to make it easily distinguishable from the 2000 Edition. An individual cover design (with a similar theme as the overall cover) was developed for each of the ten Parts. The format of the pages was changed in order to significantly reduce the overall number of pages in the MUTCD. Margins were decreased and the amount of space between lines and paragraphs was decreased. All text is now in 11-point font size, including Standards and Guidance, which were in 12-point font size in the 2000 MUTCD. As a result of these various format changes, there is a lot less “white space” on most of the pages.
