For an expanded and exhaustive list of road signs compiled by me, see User:Centralismo/Optimal road signs sorting system/Complete codex
This is my "Optimal road signs sorting system" or ORSSS, mostly influenced by world standards such as the Vienna Convention and MUTCD.
As I said on my profile, I'm tired of Wikimedia commons having very confusing and inconsistent categories for road signs, so I made a superior system myself.
Admittedly, I do want to collect just about every road sign in the world, as long it's part of official standards. I will play my part by collecting and especially vectorising signs to SVG. Also I admit I'm biased against pixel-based raster image formats because I'm a frequent user of Adobe Illustrator!
So of course, this is not an exhaustive list of road signs around the world, but it will be!
For the meantime, I will primarily sort road signs as per the Vienna Convention (VC).
