This document discusses components of the traffic system including roadways and control devices. It covers five elements of the traffic system: users, vehicles, roadways, controls, and the general environment. Roadways provide accessibility for direct connection to land uses and mobility for vehicle movement. Control devices communicate traffic laws and regulations to drivers through markings, signs, and signals. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) establishes standards for the application and design of control devices.
