Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada, Sixth Edition (2021)

The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada (MUTCDC), Sixth Edition, is an essential tool for professionals involved in traffic management and control. It guides the use of road signs, traffic signals, pavement markings and other devices that inform travellers about road regulations, hazards and temporary conditions. It helps Canada’s federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments to apply traffic control devices in a consistent and harmonized manner, which is an important factor in road safety.

The manual is available in either print or e-book formats. See details below.

Separate TAC Sign Patterns (2022) support the accurate and consistent production of road signs in the MUTCDC.
