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).

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).
Trying to made user-editiable fractions in PDFs is a bit of a challenge. I think I have a good solution, but it’s taking a while on each PDF page (and there are many of those).
Still plugging away at the R3s…
I’m setting a goal of finishing about 7 signs per day. Note that this entails:
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 background work on the R3 series signs (new graphics, coding, etc.) is coming along slowly, but I thought I’d ask some questions in the meantime:
Feel free to leave your responses in the comments. Thanks in advance for the feedback.
*can’t promise I can implement all requests, but at least I’ll be aware of them…

The MOTS website is adding all-new PDF renderings of each sign, with greatly improved color fidelity and a better layout. Another new feature is user-editable legends in PDFs of signs which might have a varying legend (cool, huh?) 🙂  For example, all the speed signs in the R2 series of signs have PDFs where the user can change the speed numerals to whatever they want (in single and double digits, though).
However, many browsers use a PDF viewer that doesn’t play well with PDF forms that use non-standard fonts (such as the signs on my site). If the PDFs for the signs are displaying in an unexpected or wacky manner, or the edited text is jumping to odd locations, the best solution is to download the PDF file to your computer or device and then open it in Adobe Reader. This should solve the unexpected display issues, and allow users to edit the signs successfully.
Any bugs or problems with this? E-mail me.
Enjoy the new feature, and let me know if you like it!
