The concepts in the manual work for local roads as well as state highways, so a road authority for a city or county can use this document as well.  \nThe amount of design work consulted out by ODOT has increased dramatically over the last decade. This manual is intended to provide instruction that will not only help in developing ODOT design staff but will also provide the information necessary for consultants or municipalities to produce PS&E documents for ODOT contracts.  \nAll the information included in this manual is in compliance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices with Oregon Supplements, and the Sign Policy and Guidelines for the state highway system.  \nThis manual is not a standalone manual that contains everything needed to know to create a perfect sign design plan. There are links to many different websites and publications in this manual that should be used when mentioned in the text. This information, in combination, will give sign designers the background to put the whole design together.  \nThis manual is not intended to replace any existing ODOT policy. It is intended to supplement existing ODOT policies and enhance the specific discipline of Permanent Signing Plans Design. This manual is to be used as a resource, a guide, a technical reference, and a teaching aide, as well. Please contact the Traffic Section for clarification or interpretation of any policies and standards within this manual.  \nThe procedures described in preparing sign plans provide one way of completing a set of contract plans. There are other acceptable ways of completing contract plans. When preparing contract work on a set of ODOT signing plans, it is important to check with the region sign designer prior to beginning design work, to coordinate design expectations for the project.  \nNotes on the 2023 MUTCD:  \nThis manual has been reviewed to conform substantially with the 2023 MUTCD. However, some details may have been missed. If there are questions, please contact Marie Kennedy to look at the material.  \nEmail comments to State Sign Engineer Marie Kennedy, [P.E.:](P.E.: Marie.Kennedy@odot.oregon.gov)[ ](P.E.: Marie.Kennedy@odot.oregon.gov)[Marie.Kennedy@odot.oregon.gov](P.E.: Marie.Kennedy@odot.oregon.gov).  \nContents  \nChapter 1 – Developing Plans ............................................................................................ 1  \n1.1 – Project Scope ......................................................","cbCaikAmkzUVcirp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikAmkzUVcirp","pdf",6139352,157,"English","# Chapter 1 – Developing Plans\n## 1.1 – Project Scope\n## 1.2 – Treatment of Existing Signs and Supports\n## 1.3 – Critical Sign Locations\n# Chapter 2 – Designing Signs\n## 2.1 – Choosing Substrate and Sheeting Types","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the 2026 Sign Design Manual for sign designers?\",\"answer\":\"It familiarizes new sign designers with their responsibilities and provides an organized collection of standards, guidelines, policies, and procedures to design a permanent signing plan for state highway projects.\"},{\"question\":\"Who can use this manual besides ODOT?\",\"answer\":\"The concepts apply to local roads as well as state highways, so city or county road authorities can use it, including consultants and municipalities producing PS\\u0026E documents for ODOT contracts.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the manual relate to MUTCD requirements?\",\"answer\":\"The manual states its information complies with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices with Oregon Supplements, and it was reviewed to substantially conform with the 2023 MUTCD.\"}]","Traffic Sign Design Manual - 2026 Sign Design Manual | PDF",396]
