Steps

  1. Open the FHWA 'MUTCD Current Edition' page (mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/kno_11th_Editionr1.htm)
  2. Confirm the current official edition is the 11th Edition with Revision 1, dated December 2025, published only as PDF (no HTML companion since the 11th Edition)
  3. Cross-check the Federal Register final rule under docket FHWA-2024-0074 (Document 2026-04365, published March 5, 2026) for the Revision 1 effective date
  4. Download the 'MUTCD 11th Edition with Revision 1, December 2025' PDF directly from the FHWA site rather than a cached mirror
  5. Check the FHWA MUTCD News Feed page for any interim amendments or known-errors list issued after Revision 1
