About Regulatory Signs
Regulatory signs are mostly a combination of black, white and red colors. They communicate “the rules of the road “ - the laws and regulations. Refer to the MUTCD for more information.
Replacement Requirements*
Regulatory signs are important to maintain as the absence of, or damage to, could quickly result in or contribute to a severe crash. Damaged or missing regulatory signs should be replaced or repaired within hours of the agency having notice of them missing, down or damaged.
