This page lists Canadian regulatory road signs, which is divided into three subseries under the Manual of Traffic Control Devices for Canada (MUTCDC):

  • Ra - Right of way
  • Rb - Control of movement
  • Rc - Miscellaneous

Ra series (right of way)

MUTCDC sign code Image English French Tags Notes
Ra-1 Stop Arrêt highway=stop
  • British Columbia: R-001
  • Quebec: P-010 (P-010A for bilingual ones)
Ra-2 Yield Cédez highway=give_way
  • British Columbia: R-002
  • Quebec: P-020-1 (P-020-2 for use with roundabouts/traffic circles)
Ra-3 School crossing Passage d'écoliers highway=crossing
  • British Columbia: PS-005
  • Ontario: Wc-2
  • Quebec: P-270-1

Most provinces use fluorescent yellow as an optional background colour, for better visibility.

Ra-4 Pedestrian crosswalk Passage pour piétons highway=crossing
  • British Columbia: PS-003 (previously SP-5 with smaller X. Alberta also uses similar design for sign RA-4 before being replaced with pictographic one)
  • Quebec: P-270-2

Ontario version of textual sign uses a large X.

Most provinces use fluorescent yellow as an optional background colour, for better visibility. Colour used only with newer signs.

Ra-5 Pedestrian crosswalk (overhead) Passage pour piétons (panneau aérien) highway=crossing Used with pedestrian-activated flashing yellow lights.

Alberta uses wider version, with “Pedestrians”.

Ra-6 Yield to school children Cédez aux écoliers
