In regard to the OP, I would go ahead and just post links, preferably both to the download page and the manual itself if it is a single-file downloadable PDF. Posts on this forum are archived and since this material tends to move around on the Web and often disappears altogether (e.g., you cannot retrieve the draft figures for the 2009
MUTCD even through the Web Archive), full links make both current and older versions of manuals easier to find through Googling or the Web Archive if we ever lose track of them.
I started tracking these manuals over 15 years ago, though I have been considerably less active in recent years since I started following the actual construction plans (not enough hours in the day, etc.). I have seen a lot of stuff appear and then disappear. To quote just one glaring example: in the early noughties BC experimented with privatization of its signing program and put online an absolutely beautiful sign pattern manual with vector illustrations, but there was an internal fightback within the ministry, and the vector illustrations began to be replaced with rasters, and now the sign pattern manual has disappeared altogether.
Here's Turkey:

http://www.kgm.gov.tr/SiteCollectionDocuments/KGMdocuments/Trafik/IsaretlerElKitabi/TrafikIsaretleriElKitabi2015.pdfTrafik is an obvious cognate,
işaret means "sign," and
kitab means "book." The PDF linked above replaces an earlier version that had slightly fewer pages.
This link is now hidden on the KGM site but still retrievable through Google:
http://www.kgm.gov.tr/SiteCollectionDocuments/KGMdocuments/Trafik/IsaretlerElKitabi/TrafikIsaretElKitabieski.pdfEski in Turkish means "old." This is nominally supposed to be a multi-volume manual, but I haven't had much luck with Google searches for
bir,
iki or
üç.
Spain has a really nice third-party site that compiles and makes available
historical manuals, including ones that were used during the Franco and Primo de Rivera eras:
http://www.carreteros.org/normativa/s_vertical/s_vertical.htmThe maintainers attempt to collate drafts and both gazetted and perfect-bound versions. (The main Spanish manual for designable upright signing, Norma 8.1-IC, is typically published first as a very long article in the
BoletÃn Oficial del Estado, which is the official gazette for Spanish central government, and then as a bound softcover volume which you can buy at the Ministerio de Fomento bookshop in Madrid.) Some autonomous communities have their own child versions of Norma 8.1-IC and Carreteros.org also tries to make these available, in both current and past versions.
