The '''Transportation Association of Canada (TAC)''' publishes a ''Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices'' for use by Canadian jurisdictions. Although it serves a similar role to the FHWA MUTCD, it has been independently developed and has a number of key differences with its American counterpart, most notably the inclusion of bilingual (English/French) signage for jurisdictions such as [[New Brunswick]] with significant [[English language|anglophone]] and [[French language|francophone]] population, and a much heavier reliance on symbols rather than text legends.
 
The '''Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO)''' also has historically used its own MUTCD which bore many similarities to the TAC MUTCD. However, as of approximately 2000 they have been developing the ''Ontario Traffic Manual'' (OTM), a series of smaller volumes each covering different aspects of traffic control (e.g., regulatory signs, warning signs, sign design principles, traffic signals, etc.).
 
The '''City of Phoenix Street Transportation Department''' published ''The City of Phoenix Traffic Barricade Manuel'' in 1961 with editions published in 1970, 1974, 1976, 1980, 1982, 1989, 1998, and 2007.<ref>[http://phoenix.gov/STREETS/tbm07cov.pdf City of Phoenix Traffic Barricade Manual (11.3MB)] This manual is used by most of the jurisdictions in the Valley of the Sun with the exception of Gilbert and Queen Creek, which use the MUTCD.</ref>
