According to the MUTCD, what should individuals responsible for implementing TTC measures possess?

Individuals responsible for implementing Traffic Control (TTC) measures are required to possess training and/or certification as outlined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). This requirement ensures that they have a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices necessary for effective traffic control in work zones. Proper training equips these individuals with knowledge about safe work zone setups, regulatory compliance, and best practices for maintaining traffic flow and safety for both workers and road users.

Training and certification also help ensure that TTC measures comply with national standards and guidelines, ultimately leading to safer work environments. The emphasis on formal training highlights the importance of specialized knowledge, rather than relying solely on experience, time spent on a job, or informal induction processes. Such qualifications contribute to more effective traffic management and reduce the risks associated with work zone activities.
