THE PURPOE :

NISA FARZANA BINTI MOHD ZUKI 15DKA16F1131

The main purpose of a traffic control device is to provide
information to road use so they can safely move along a
highway, street, pedestrian facility or bikeway. The five basic
criteria of a traffic control device, as defined by the manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) are to do the
following :
 Fulfill a need.
Command attention.

NISA FARZANA BINTI MOHD ZUKI 15DKA16F1131

Convey a clear, simple meaning.
Command respect from road users.
Give adequate time for response
Signs, signals, pavement markings, object markers, and
barricades are designed with dedicated colours, shapes, and
sizes based on the different functions they perform. They
regulate, guide, and warn users about road conditions.
Uniformity of design (e.g., color, shape, size, and location)
helps drivers to understand quickly the messages of traffic

NISA FARZANA BINTI MOHD ZUKI 15DKA16F1131

control devices. Consistency is important for driver attention,
respect, and recognition and for proper reaction to the
devices
