What Rich is refering to is the "MUTCD", Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices which most (if not all) states and municipalities adopt much like the GCOR on the railroads. This manual prescribes uniform standards so that small town "ticket mills" find it harder to support their revenue needs with questionable practices.
It just makes a "NO RIGHT TURN" or "SPEED 55" sign mean the same thing in Vermont as it does in Oregon.
I have served on several Traffic Safety Comissions where we actually had to get the cops to stop some of their "small town vigilante" practices.
A bit off the subject...Sammie
