Traffic signs, pavement markings and traffic signals are the result of an engineering study conducted by the Road Commission.

The Road Commission has the responsibility to place traffic signs and traffic signals at locations that have met a specific list of warrants or guidelines that are found in the Michigan Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

The Michigan Manual has lists of traffic signs that can be used and also their proper size and installation.  The Manual also describes pavement markings and their specific uses.

If you have questions regarding traffic signs or signals, please call our traffic department and our staff will assist you.  The traffic department can also be reached via e-mail at:  "Traffic" followed by "@" then by "bcroad.org"
