MUTCD temporary warning signs are critical for ensuring driver and worker safety in temporary traffic control zones, such as construction or maintenance areas. These signs alert drivers to unexpected conditions, including road work, detours, or temporary changes in traffic patterns. They are typically fluorescent orange, symbolizing caution, and are made with high-contrast colors for increased daytime and nighttime visibility. Temporary warning signs are designed to be easily installed and relocated as needed, with a focus on durability to withstand the elements for the duration of a project. The MUTCD provides guidelines on their size, shape, message, and placement to maximize visibility and comprehension, thereby minimizing confusion and enhancing safety.
