Relationship with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices

As with signing, the MUTCD (1) and applicable local standards govern the design and placement of pavement markings. Roundabouts present a number of new pavement marking issues that are not addressed in the 1988 edition of the MUTCD. For this reason, a number of new pavement markings or uses for existing pavement markings have been introduced that are under consideration for inclusion in the next edition of the MUTCD. Until such pavement markings or uses are formally adopted, these recommendations should be considered provisional and are subject to MUTCD Section 1A-6, “Manual Changes, Interpretations and Authority to Experiment.”

The following pavement markings and applications recommended below are subject to these conditions:

• YIELD lines; and
• Symbolic YIELD legend.
