PKG-SYMBOL

This package consists of two components:

1) the Handbook of Recommended Information Sign Symbols for Canada

2) electronic vector image files (EPS format) of the related sign symbols

The Handbook of Recommended Information Sign Symbols for Canada is a reference guide for recommended information sign symbols whose comprehensive nature excludes its contents from TAC’s Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada (MUTCDC) due to that document’s large breadth and scope. 

The Handbook is useful to Canadian jurisdictions implementing new sign initiatives or reviewing current programs that use standard symbols in their sign design. For example, Tourism-Oriented Directional Signing (TODS) programs, increasingly adopted by Canadian jurisdictions, rely on the availability of many specific information sign symbols.

• Part 1 of the Handbook provides context and important information on general application and guidelines, facility eligibility, and multiple activity/facility signing for proper sign symbol use. 
• Part 2 of the Handbook provides listings of the sign symbols, organized into 19 facility type groups.

The electronic vector image files of the Handbook of Recommended Information Sign Symbols for Canada are intended to assist jurisdictions with the proper reproduction of the sign symbols presented in the document of the same name. The files are provided in EPS format in order to maintain their resolution, if resizing is required. The image files are organized into the 19 facility type groups represented in Part 2 of the Handbook. The sign symbol images for each group are accompanied by a PDF overview listing.
