Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Pursuant to
				RCW
				 36.75.300, there is added to Part 5 of the
				MUTCD, the following regulation pertaining to signing of county roads:
The legislative authority of each county may by resolution
				classify and designate portions of county roads as primitive roads where the
				designated road portion:
(1) Is not
			 classified as part of the county primary road system, as provided for in
			 RCW
			  36.86.070;
(2) Has a gravel or earth driving surface;
			 and
(3) Has an average annual daily
			 traffic of 100 or fewer vehicles.
Any road designated as a primitive road shall be marked with a
				PRIMITIVE ROAD sign at all places where the primitive road portion begins or
				connects with a highway other than a primitive road.
A sign with the caption CAUTION - NO WARNING SIGNS may be
				installed on the same post with the PRIMITIVE ROAD sign, and may be
				individually erected at intermediate points along the road section if
				conditions warrant. In addition, a sign with the caption NEXT. . . . MILES may
				be installed on the same post below the CAUTION - NO WARNING SIGNS
				sign.
