New Road Signs on HWY 193
Our office has received inquiries about the new signs on HWY 193. We checked in with Caltrans and were sent the following reply:
"This is a safety project on Highway 193. This type of work was necessary to replace existing, and/or place new horizontal alignment signs (Curve Warning Signs) in new locations where necessary to comply with the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). This also requires horizontal alignment curve warning signs to comply with the California MUTCD. This requirement is not only for District 3 but for all the other Caltrans Districts throughout the state. "
