5 C H A P T E R 2 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices Existing MUTCD Content The 2009 MUTCD (1) contains information on lane-use control signals and related CMSs in these general areas: • Part 4 "Highway Traffic Signals" -- Chapter 4M: "Lane-Use Control Signals." • Part 2 "Signs" -- Chapter 2L: "Changeable Message Signs." • Part 4 "Highway Traffic Signals" -- Chapter 4K: "Highway Traffic Signals at Toll Plazas," Section 4K.02: "Lane-Use Control Signals at or Near Toll Plazas." • Part 2 "Signs" -- Chapter 2B: "Regulatory Signs, Barricades, and Gates," Section 2B.26: "Reversible Lane Control Signs." • Part 2 "Signs" -- Section 2G: "Preferential and Managed Lane Signs." • Part 6 "Temporary Traffic Control" -- Chapter 6F: "Temporary Traffic Control Zone Devices;" Section 6F.61: "Arrow Boards." Lane-use control is addressed most directly in Section 4M where the basic meanings of the signal indications are provided as shown in Table 2.

6 Application of Dynamic Lane-Use Control: Proposed Practices had approved requests to experiment with alternative signals for congestion management. The memo states that the studies to date provided no "empirical evidence to support that the alternative signal displays tested perform more effectively than those currently specified in the MUTCD." The memo stresses that there is no evidence that the current MUTCD indications do not result in the desired road user behavior.
