For those that have not been involved with the NCUTCD or the MUTCD for as many years as I have, here is a brief history related to this rulemaking: 1.The 1993 DOT Appropriations Act directed the Secretary to include a standard for minimum retroreflectivity for signs and pavement markings. 2. Minimum retroreflectivity for signs was added to the MUTCD as Revision 2 of the 2003 MUTCD. The final rule was published on December 21,2007. 3. The NPA for minimum marking retroreflectivity was published in the Federal Register on April 22,2010. 4.The SNPA for minimum marking retroreflectivity was published in the Federal Register on January 4,2017. 5.The Final Rule for minimum marking retroreflectivity will be published in the Federal Register on August 5,2022. |
