Las Animas - Bent County Library District

This manual is a guidance to standardize CDOT sign layout practices. CDOT standards are based upon the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and Standard Highway Signs Book. This manual is to be used in conjunction with the Standard Highway Signs (SHS) Design Guidelines. CDOT Sign Shop capabilities are also explained for guidance on special signing issues.

"Guide" signs are those official signs, manufactured and installed by CDOT and others, which give information about and direction to many different types of services and destinations. CDOT receives hundreds of requests for highway signing. Published information provides an outline of CDOT's policies and procedures related to the more common types of signing requests received by the Department.
