Roadway signage

See also: Comparison of MUTCD-influenced traffic signs and Comparison of traffic signs in English-speaking territories

Canada has adopted a partly modified road signage patterned on the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) of the United States. The stop sign designs for instance in some areas of Canada may feature the French-language as a local cultural adaptation. Canada's MUTCDC also contrasts from the United Nations-style standard consisting of the 1968 United Nations' Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.[3]
