I think our friends from north of the border would know the answer to this, but is there an online/PDF version of their MUTCD, similar to the American one? I've Googled it and found nothing so far.

I know the Québec equivalent (Tome V) exists, but it's hundreds of dollars, unless you, uh, sail the seven seas.

With that said, I can't say I ever heard of a Canadian MUTCD, mostly because provinces do their own thing even though they are relatively similar most of the time.

The Transportation Association of Canada--a loose equivalent to AASHTO--publishes the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada.  Unlike its counterparts in the US and many other countries, it is not made available free of charge.

As LilianaUwU notes, provinces tend to have their own design references for traffic signing.  Some make them available free of charge, while others do not.

Ontario Traffic Manuals are available for free here: https://otc.org/ontario-traffic-manuals/

Some books that'll interest roadgeeks:
- Book 5: Regulatory Signs
- Book 6: Warning Signs
- Book 8: Guide and Information Signs
- Book 11: Pavement, Hazard and Delineation Markings

I have removed a couple of posts that mentioned the availability of additional material from a certain Canadian province.  A fee is normally charged for access to it.  Per the Forum Guidelines, we will not attempt to regulate any PMs that discuss ways to acquire it outside established channels.  However, conversation about it on the publicly accessible parts of the forum are likely to tip off the rights holder and lead to the closing off of incidental access routes that are useful to the road enthusiast community.
