Street signs, traffic signals, streetlights. Traffic control devices (TCDs) are critical for the safe and efficient transportation of people and goods. They communicate rules, warnings, guidance, and other information that you need to safely navigate roads. Properly maintained TCDs save lives, prevent injuries or property damage, and improve traffic flow.<\/p>\n

Traffic troubles<\/h2>\n

While most of the nation\u2019s roads are managed by state and local governments, the\u00a0Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)<\/a> sets minimum standards and ensures uniformity of TCDs across the nation. Public agencies rely on the MUTCD for uniformity, and noncompliance or missing TCDs can result in the loss of federal funds and a significant increase in liability.<\/p>\n

But problems are inevitable: Exposure to the elements degrades TCDs over time, extreme weather events can damage or even destroy them, and even a single street sign can be a hazard if it\u2019s placed too close to a roadway. Road maintenance organizations try to mitigate safety issues and reduce maintenance costs with routine inspection and maintenance, but keeping track of thousands of TCDs and their asset conditions can be challenging.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

More specifically, the Sign Management, Signal Management, and Streetlight Management solutions deploy with a set of layers, maps, and apps to help your organization manage your TCDs and related assets.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2183742,"id":2183742,"title":"TCD_Gallery","filename":"TCD_Gallery.png","filesize":537115,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TCD_Gallery.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-solutions\/transportation\/manage-traffic-control-devices-with-arcgis-solutions\/tcd_gallery","alt":"ArcGIS Solutions for traffic control devices","author":"134131","description":"ArcGIS Solutions for managing traffic control devices (signs, signals, streetlights).","caption":"ArcGIS Solutions for managing traffic control devices (signs, signals, streetlights).","name":"tcd_gallery","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2141962,"date":"2023-12-04 18:25:23","modified":"2024-02-12 17:51:51","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1079,"height":412,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TCD_Gallery-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TCD_Gallery.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":177,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TCD_Gallery.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":293,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TCD_Gallery.png","large-width":1079,"large-height":412,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TCD_Gallery.png","1536x1536-width":1079,"1536x1536-height":412,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TCD_Gallery.png","2048x2048-width":1079,"2048x2048-height":412,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TCD_Gallery-826x315.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":315,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/12\/TCD_Gallery.png","wide_image-width":1079,"wide_image-height":412}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
