The Texas Department of Transportation (TexDOT) has increasingly used signs rather than words to communicate the different safety messages on streets and highways. Pictograms and signs are simpler to acknowledge and understand, cross numerous language barriers, and often close the communication gap. Symbols have become the standard for traffic control devices.
In different circumstances, the colors that make up the road signs are vital in conveying the information they contain. At Barricades Unlimited, we follow the requirements for the design and application of the signs as controlled under the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
