Does it really?

In Texas Sec. 551.103. OPERATION ON ROADWAY I see no such override. I may be missing a legal definition, and it is possible that a different part of the transportation code does grant MUTCD override. So I’m open to evidence.

Let me be clear I think legal niceties come in a far second to real safety.

However, over the long term, the laws must be adapted to align with real safety.

(In the case of my road the sharrows were not due to the unquestionable wisdom of the designers. It was due to a CF.)
