Abstract

Standardization of traffic control devices (TCDs) presents a keen sense of uniformity regarding the specifications (design and placement) of each traffic sign, pavement marking, pavement object, and traffic signal. Various organizations like the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) implement rules regarding these specifications which are recorded in manuals like theManual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways 2009 Edition (MUTCD) and the European Agreement convention supplement for the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals ? a treaty promoting road safety. These said publications were used to perform the comparison and analysis of the existing traffic signs and pavement markings in the University of the Philippines Los Baños campus (UPLB) to conform to the international standards. Survey was done to collect data regarding these TCDs wherein data were recorded in tables for easy analysis. It was found out that most of the existing traffic signs are in need of immediate replacement and some additional traffic signs (e.g. specific directional guide signs, one way signs, turn right signs, no standing signs, and crosswalks) are also needed to be installed in certain parts of the campus.
