Vienna Convention on Road Traffic

The Vienna Convention on Road Traffic is an international treaty established in 1968 to promote safety and efficiency on global roads. It creates common rules for drivers, vehicles, and traffic signals, making it easier to drive across different countries without confusion. Countries that sign and adopt the Convention agree to follow these consistent standards, such as driving on the right or left side, recognizing international driving permits, and ensuring vehicle safety. Overall, it aims to reduce accidents and streamline cross-border travel by harmonizing traffic laws worldwide.
