Traffic Signs Traffic signs are all around us. We depend on their distinctive shapes and colors to warn us of changes or hazards in the road; tell us where and when to park; alert us to the Nation's natural, cultural, and recreational sites; and get us to our destinations safely. All signs are made in accordance with: Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for Streets and Highways 10/1/2024
