Road signs: The standardized, non-verbal communication system regulating traffic flow and improving safety across all public roadways.

Road signs operate under the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standard that dictates their design, installation, and application. This system ensures uniformity: An octagon always signifies Stop, an inverted triangle means Yield, and diamond shapes communicate warnings. The current 11th Edition (December 2023) of the MUTCD governs over 4 million miles of U.S. roads, providing critical, immediate information to drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Compliance is mandatory for all public roads, directly correlating to reduced accidents and optimized traffic efficiency.

### [Infrahub - AI enabled road maintenance](https://nyc.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_egM2CDBK8EI)

Our software is used by department of transportations (DOT) to better manage their road infrastructure. The foundation of this software is a database of a DOT’s road infrastructure - for example, the location of all their road signs. We create this database by processing images with a variety of AI vision models.
