I've started making my own. I get the images from:
http://www.trafficsign.us/
I print mine on Avery label paper and then stick them to .010 styrene. I paint the back of the styrene aluminum in color. Then I cut the signs out and glue them with CA to .032 piano wire that I use for posts. Here's a picture of one (sorry about the picture quality, I was experimenting with the camera):
I want to put a piece of guard rail in front of this one. The guard rail just came in yesterday.

I've read that some people scanned signs from driving guides then get some wire and thread cardbord i on the wire and glue the scanned signs on the cardbord
This sub shop is a DPM building with cardstock signs, just printed on the computer.
This one is right next door in the same building. Here, I made decals on the computer and put them on the windows. The "Evil Eye" sign was printed on cardstock and then glued to a couple of pieces of floral wire to hang it from the horizontal pole.
The "curtains" are from an IHC kit, glued to the inside of the windows.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
I copy signs & billboards off ebay (or other places on the web). Go to collectables-advertising or collectables-paper, then search for signs, copy & paste image to a publisher desk top, crop & size for your scale ( HO for me ). then save to a file. Then you can print on paper, cardstock or full sticker page. With full sticker just cut out, trim and stick to a stiff backing or right to a building. With paper or cardstock you can use double sided tape or glue of your choice. If you print on photo paper you get a glossy like sign. You can build the frame for billboards from wood stick matches or scale lumber.
These signs on the cafe I scanned from a sign catalog.
You can also copy people, Background buildings, interiors, ect.
This is off a postcard found on ebay under collectables/paper/postcards. These are great to use as background buidings.
These are old ink blotters copied off ebay, found under collectables/paper/ink blotters. Most are rectangle and make nice billboards.
These buildings were copied of postcards on ebay and make great background buildings! The ideas are endless....just look for signs that match the era you model.
