(a) The 2011 Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Revision 2, was prepared by the Texas Department of Transportation to govern standards and specifications for all traffic control devices to be erected and maintained upon any street, highway, bikeway, public facility, or private property open to public travel within this state, including those under local jurisdiction, and is adopted by reference. Copies of the manual are available online through the Texas Department of Transportation web site, www.txdot.gov, and a copy is available for public inspection at the department's Traffic Operations Division office located at 118 East Riverside Drive, Austin, Texas.
(b) This manual will be periodically updated. In the intervals between updates, standards contained in "Official Rulings on Requests for Interpretations, Changes, and Experimentation" to the United States Department of Transportation's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways will be inserted in this manual and may be used as interim standards.
(c) This manual is not intended to preclude the use of sound engineering judgment and experience in the application and installation of devices and particularly in those cases not specifically covered which must not conflict with the manual or other applicable state laws.
