Cool, thanks! 
These could also be inkjet printed on clear decal paper and applied to white styrene.

In the spirit of "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"  -- I made this sheet from images I found at https://www.trafficsign.com

I use LibreOffice Draw (as I am slowly moving away from anything Microsoft) -- It is a vector based drawing program that makes it easy to scale the images down ..

1) Open Draw - create a new image

2) Go to the website, or find an image online that  you want to use, make a copy and paste it into the Draw program - Using the sizing command (F4) change the image size on the width & length to whatever size you need .. the nice thing about this site I used is they also specify the sizes . for example the RR X sign is 48"x48" ... using a scale calculator such as Ginifab https://www.ginifab.com/feeds/cm_to_inch/scale_converter.html the sign is 7.62 mm in 1:160 ..

3) You can print directly from the Draw program, or convert to PDF which I did for posting to the forum ..

Enjoy

HA!
I opened this thread during a break in a MUTCD class that I'm in. Apparently there are over 600 changes coming in the next manual.
