Federal Rule Making 23 CFR 655.603(a)
Effective January 16, 2007The MUTCD approved by the Federal Highway Administrator is the national standard for all traffic control devices installed on any street, highway, or bicycle trail open to public travel in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 109(d) and 402(a). For the purpose of MUTCD applicability, open to public travel includes toll roads and roads within shopping centers, parking lot areas, airports, sports arenas, and other similar business and/or recreation facilities that are privately owned but where the public is allowed to travel without access restrictions. Military bases and other gated properties where access is restricted and private highway-rail grade crossings are not included in this definition

Relevance•FHWA found chronic inconsistencies – color, shape, size, reflectivity•Focus to improve safety and increase uniformity of traffic control applications•Federal rule did not make it necessary for State and/or local transportation agencies to have specific authority of enforcement of traffic control on private roads
•Public Accountability: standards, funding•Private Accountability: codes/approvals, tort liability
