Department of Engineering maintains more than 11,000 traffic and street
name signs. The signs are designed and installed according to Michigan
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. They are grouped into several
categories:
,
such as speed, stop or yield signs;
Warning, which
are diamond-shaped with a yellow background, such as "curve
ahead"; and

usually have green or brown backgrounds that help motorists
navigate through unfamiliar areas.
