Now, the Federal Highway Administration has finished drafting a new, 11th edition of the MUTCD. The document is being reviewed by the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Once the OMB approves the new Manual–likely later this summer or fall–it will be published and go into legal effect, shaping the design of U.S. streets for years to come.

Yeah but that green sharrow box (advisory bike lane?) is awful. I thought we killed that after one week in Santa Monica.

Sharrows in general are awful, but I appreciate some of the green boxes especially to claim back space for cyclists to turn so they aren't in the middle of intersections.

The green bike boxes between a stop line and a crosswalk are great (where paint-protected bike lanes are used), I’m just dunking on the weird box in this picture which is not that.
