Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals

The Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, established in 1968, is an international treaty that standardizes road signs, signals, and markings to improve road safety and facilitate international traffic. By creating uniform symbols and messages, it helps drivers understand road rules and navigate more efficiently across different countries. The Convention sets guidelines for the design, color, and meaning of signs, ensuring consistency and clarity on the roads. Currently, over 70 countries are parties to this agreement, promoting safer and more predictable driving conditions for everyone.
