The Right-of-Way Improvements Manual is one of many resources for a project applicant proposing to do work in the street right-of-way. Information in the Manual is:

• Consistent with citywide regulatory documents such as Seattle Municipal Code
• Consistent with City of Seattle Standard Plans and Specifications.
• Consistent with applicable federal, state, regional and local regulatory requirements.
• Consistent with related citywide plans, such as the Comprehensive Plan, the Transportation Strategic Plan, the SDOT Pedestrian Master Plan, the SDOT Bicycle Master Plan, and the Comprehensive Drainage Plan.

While the Right-of Way Improvements Manual strives to be inclusive, it is the responsibility of the project to insure compliance with all city, state, and federal requirements such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
