Which of the following lists the manuals referenced for state and national traffic control standards?

Understanding which documents govern traffic control standards at national and state levels. The national framework for traffic control devices comes from the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). It sets the standard rules for signs, signals, markings, and other devices that guide drivers and pedestrians. To apply these standards in practice at the state level, additional references are used. Standard Plans provide pre-approved roadway construction and traffic control drawings, Index 102 Series offers standard installation details for temporary traffic control, and Standard Specifications outline the materials and workmanship required in contracts. Together, MUTCD with these state-specific manuals cover both the nationwide rules and the state’s implementation details. The other options don’t fit because they omit essential parts (MUTCD alone), or involve documents that aren’t the recognized references for traffic control standards (OSHA guidelines deal with workplace safety; local county ordinances are not the standard references used for statewide or national traffic control).
