The Work Zone Traffic Control Guidelines M 54-44 has been renamed and now is the Work Zone Traffic Control Guidelines for Maintenance Operations M 54-44.

The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) is adopted by WSDOT as the legal standard. Principals set forth in Part VI of the MUTCD titled "Temporary Traffic Control" are represented in this booklet to provide traffic control guidance for common work operations.

The traffic control plans contained in this booklet are furnished as a guide to be used along with good judgment. Minor modifications may be made, as necessary, to accommodate site conditions; however, a plan's original intent must be maintained. An alternate plan should be considered if substantial revisions are needed.
