actually one of the most powerful motivators behind
the widespread adaption of the MUTCD is liability.
if states and municipalities show they are operating
in accordance with the MUTCD then they can avoid
a world of hurt in court. it's why the recent addition
of a number of bicycle facilities to the MUTCD is a
big deal, as it makes them suddenly ok for many
jurisdictions where they weren't before.
