Notable Changes from the 2003 Edition
Yield Sign Applications Section 2B.09
The use of "posted speed" or "85th-Percentile Speeds" was removed. This change further removes the MUTCD in providing guidance on when to install a Yield sign or not. Engineers must either relay on local practice or use other sources such as the AASHTO Green Book.
