I've changed the relevant tags to moped=no. Any opinion on if mopeds would be included in "motor vehicles"? I don't think I've ever seen a mofa in the states (I find people on Vespas in the states already fairly brave) but what about pedelecs and similar? Simon Am 01.12.2015 um 15:36 schrieb

Simon, Great work so far! I enjoy reading the MUTCD (nerd alert). I'll think of some things to add. So far I think we could include the no hazmat signs ( http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/htm/2009/part2/fig2b_30_longdesc.htm) which are governed by the key:hazmat tag (
