MUTCD and Your Local Asphalt Contractors

Recently, I read an article in the Pavement Maintenance Magazine about how the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) was updated in 2009. Basically, the article stated that like the ADA and the opportunities it provided for contractors, the MUTCD would also provide contractors with opportunities to support their customers managing things such as “private roads that open to public travel,” including roads within shopping centers, malls,  airports, parks, sports arenas, and many other privately owned properties open to general public.  Is your asphalt contractor keeping up with this? Read on and learn more.

Overview of the MUTCD changes in 2009

As pointed out in this article, asphalt contractors have another similar opportunity because of the 2009 update. Some examples of the changes that are affected by this are parking lot striping in regards to the way roads are striped and marked and traffic sign installation and the way traffic signs are installed. Because property managers don’t have time to be on top of each new change as it occurs they need to rely on a quality asphalt contractor who stays on top of these changes in real time.  Keep in mind that ultimately property managers are responsible for keeping their properties up to date with all codes including the ADA and the MUTCD.
