The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is extending the deadline for public comments on proposed changes to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways. The original deadline of March 15, 2021, is now pushed to May 14, 2021, to allow more time for comprehensive feedback due to the complexity of the proposed changes. This extension follows concerns from various stakeholders who indicated that the initial timeline was insufficient for a detailed review and response. Feedback can be submitted through multiple methods, including a federal portal and mail.
Simple Explanation
The Federal Highway Administration is giving people more time, until May 14, 2021, to share their thoughts about changes to rules for road signs and signals because the changes are complicated and need some extra thinking time.
