Traffic Control
Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MN MUTCD) Refresher Training
This four-hour mini-workshop familiarizes participants with the changes to the 2001 MN MUTCD found in the new 2005 MN MUTCD. This will enable participants to effectively and consistently apply the new 2005 MN MUTCD principles to their traffic control devices. While the principles found in the 2005 MN MUTCD are the same regardless of the type or jurisdiction of roadway, the types of projects and their associated standards are somewhat different for local agencies and Mn/DOT employees. This training is tailored to address the needs of both groups, specifically focusing on the use of the manual within Minnesota.
