Thumbs up:

R9s are done – including the new R9-23 series signs from Interim Approval IA-20.

Enjoy!

“Park” yourself in front of your screen, because the R7s and R8s are completed, updated to full 2009 MUTCD compliance, and uploaded.

As always, signs with varying messages (dates, times, etc.) feature user-editable PDFs (open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader for best results).

Enjoy!

This series may include “wrong way”, but I was able to head the right way and finish the R5s this evening. May you all never be selectively excluded.

It’s too hot to clean the garage, so I completed the R4 series of signs instead. A lot fewer than the R3s, and only one PDF that had to be set up as user-editable (R4-12). But just for fun I set up the PDF for the R4-10 so users can change the type of runaway item. 🙂

We’re making progress…

The R3 series of signs (all 90 or so of them) are complete and posted on the Manual of Traffic Signs website at http://www.trafficsign.us/r3.html .

Quite a few of the PDF files (mainly the HOV signs) are user-editable. 🙂

Apologies for taking nearly a year to get them done, but it was quite an undertaking to get them just right, and to add all those new signs tacked on in the 2009 MUTCD.

I’m hoping that subsequent sections don’t take as long. I’ll be adding them as I get the time to draw up the signs and generate the files.

Enjoy, and let the celebrations commence (heh).

I’m setting a goal of finishing about 7 signs per day. Note that this entails:

• drawing (or redrawing) the sign in a graphics program
• dropping the signs into the page templates
• adding the sign code and description, and
• generating the PDF and GIF files – sometimes with an animated GIF.

Plus, there are signs with changeable legends that need an additional step to allow for user-changeable legends in the PDF files.

For example, today I continued work on the R3 series signs, and discovered I’d missed the new roundabout-specific versions of the R3-8 intersection lane control signs. Not the easiest signs to draw, either – here’s an example:

Still working my way through. Once the R3s are done, I’ll update the MUTCD and other links and post the page, and get on to the R4s.

There are a LOT of R3 series signs. Still slowly plugging away at ’em. That is all.

The long-awaited revamp of the Manual of Traffic Signs site is underway! What’s new:

• New main page
• New Sign Colors page
• New Object Markers page
• New Regulatory Signs page
• New R1 Series Signs page
• New R2 Series Signs page
• New sign images (GIF images in much higher resolution with more layout options
• New user-editable sign PDFs (need a custom speed limit? Make it whatever speed you want!)

The plan is to create all-new images and pages for the Manual, with links to the most recent 2009 MUTCD. I’m starting with the Regulatory Signs section (currently working on the R3 series signs). Once the regulatory signs are done, I’ll start in on warning signs, then on marker signs. I’ll announce updates here on the News page as they’re completed.

It’s gonna be a huge job to completely update this site after a decade-plus hiatus, but it’ll be worth it. And I’m planning on keeping it simple, fast-loading, and ad-free.

Hope you enjoy!
