      Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals establishes an international standard for road signs, traffic lights and road markings. It was created in 1968 in Vienna, Austria and it has been in force since 1978. This is why when you go for example from Germany to Poland, you don’t experience incapacitating unfamiliarness on the traffic signs: warning signs, give way signs, stop signs, mandatory signs, regulatory signs et cetera look very similar in countries which follow the Vienna Convention.

      Latest update: 25.9.2024 Andorra acceded the treaty.

      Ireland didn’t sign the Vienna Convention on Signs and Signals at all – and is quite far off the standard, using signs influenced by the US MUTCD standards for warning signs at at least – yellow diamonds. The signage is closer to Australia and New Zealand than it is to Europe.

      Would love if we moved from left-hand but the logistics of it and volume of cars involved along with the shared border with NI makes it impossible

      The UK, although left-handed, has in fact signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals. Ireland didn’t, funnily enough.

      Cyprus has also acceded.

      One thing I like about the Baltics. The green blinks three times before turning yellow. The rest of the countries should follow, because if I drive in Germany it turns instantly yellow and I don’t know if I got the fine or not, so I need to slam on the brakes and hope nobody crashes into my back. So Vienna convention please discuss this

      I haven’t driven in many countries, and I don’t know the Vienna road signs, but if they have anything to do with the awkward signs in Portugal, they need to be rethought.

      For example, the sign that says you can’t pass is two cars next to each other. One is red. (Color blind people, screw you!) The sign that says you *can* pass is two cars with a line through it.

      There’s other signs there that are only useful if you just happen to know already what they mean, and you aren’t colorblind, as they use blue or red colors a lot.

      Bulgaria doesn’t use Latin alphabet but the stop sign is written as STOP. Bulgarian word to stop is спри (spri). On the other hand in Turkey on the sign it is written DUR.
