California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices: supplemental destination signs: museums.

The Federal Highway Administration publishes the national Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, which is incorporated by reference into federal law, to set the national standard for all traffic control devices installed on any street, highway, or bicycle trail open to public travel. Federal law authorizes the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices as a supplement to the federal manual, and requires it to be in substantial conformance with the federal manual. The California manual provides criteria for supplemental destination signs for publicly owned and private nonprofit museums that have minimum annual attendance between 200,000 and 1,000,000 people and that are within 2 or 3 miles from the highway. This bill would require the department to amend the California manual to allow supplemental destination signs for publicly owned and private nonprofit museums that have minimum annual attendance of 50,000 people and that are within 5 miles from the highway. The bill would require the amendments be made in the department's next edition or revision to the California manual.
