As we return to our regularly scheduled looks at humor, I am working on a recent issue related to humor: humorous traffic signs and the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways). But before we get there, what is the MUTCD? This document provides information on text choice, messaging, and sign placement for any and all signs that will appear on a highway. Every type of sign, whether it be a mile marker, an exit sign, or an AMBER alert is discussed. It’s a real page turner. (We’ll come back to this point a bit later) I can tell you that reading just a snippet of that manual was as exciting as you can imagine. Thank goodness for the ctrl+F function, or I might have had to start drinking. You wouldn’t think that the MUTCD has any room for humor, and you’d be right. But it does talk about humor. So let’s get into it.
