Abstract

In January 2019, the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (NCUTCD) voted to send a ballot item to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to revise language in the Manual in Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) regarding the setting of speed limits. In January 2018, the NCUTCD established a task force to further understand the recommendations made by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Reducing Speeding Related Crashed Involving Passenger Vehicles. The task force conducted a survey in the spring of 2018 of the profession to identify practices and attitudes related to setting of speed limits, and 740 professionals completes the survey.
