Signs and Pavement Markings Workshop
Keep signs in good shape.
Local governments are responsible for providing clear, informative traffic control devices and markings for public road travelers (specified in the Code of Iowa and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices). Consequently, local government staff need to be aware of all current recommendations and practices to perform their required duties properly. This workshop will help keep employees up to date.
