Philippines

I'm wondering why the Philippines are on this article. Clearly they went with the Vienna Convention type signs. knoodelhed (talk) 06:00, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's a debatable inclusion. It's an example of minimal or marginal MUTCD influence; some of the signs use the same glyphs, and the numbering system is nearly identical - at least I think that's why it was added. I'd be open to removing it, honestly. --Amateria1121 (talk) 16:52, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Short v. long ton in the US

According to this article, in the United States, tonnage signs are given in long tons. It was my understanding they were in short tons actually. Any roadgeeks or others have a source to back this up? 24.161.60.195 (talk) 19:56, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dead images

This article is unreadable due to its heavy use of dead images. Can people please go through it and repair the images? Jordf32123 (talk) 07:28, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like they aren't dead images, this article might be hitting the threshold of server requests. – The Grid (talk) 14:38, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The United States does not have a "no honking" sign.

I have replaced the "?" space in the "No Honking" row and "United States" column with "Not Used" because the MUTCD does not have any information about where you can honk your horn and where you can't. 204.144.198.165 (talk) 23:20, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of countries

I have always questioned whether this article should exist, but suffice to say, if it must exist it needs to be slimmed down greatly. Numerous countries are listed here when their national signing standards have nothing to do with the MUTCD, such as Brunei, China, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Some other countries are extremely tangential, such as Cambodia. I do not believe using yellow diamonds for warning signs is sufficient enough to claim a connection to the MUTCD.

I agree. Countries that aren't shown on the map at the top of the articles should at the very least be removed (although the accuracy of the map is questionable). I recently removed Greece, which seemed to have been added for the reason of having a single diamond sign. EthanL13 | talk 16:24, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"I do not believe using yellow diamonds for warning signs is sufficient enough to claim a connection to the MUTCD."

With this taken into account, I have now marked the article as factually inaccurate. In addition to the aforementioned countries whose signage is unrelated to the MUTCD, there are at least three others—Brazil,^[1]^{Art. 33} Chile^[2]^{(pg. 45)} and Ireland^[3]^{(pg. 42-43)}―whose signage has not been influenced by the MUTCD directly (that is to say, all three have adopted their signage designed based on the unrealised 1953 Draft Convention on Road Signs and Signals).

If this article is to remain, it needs to define exactly what is meant by "MUTCD-influenced", and differentiate between countries whose signage has been adopted from the MUTCD, and those whose signage merely looks like MUTCD signage. EthanL13 | talk 11:24, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
