Comparison of European road signs
European traffic signs present relevant differences between countries despite an apparent uniformity and standardisation. Most European countries refer to the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals. The convention has been adopted by the following countries (including acceding states): Albania, Armenia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey,[1] Ukraine and the United Kingdom. The convention has not been adopted by Andorra, Ireland, Iceland or Malta.

Differences between European traffic signs
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8e/A411_panneaux_A15b_M2_signalisation_Suisse_France.jpg/220px-A411_panneaux_A15b_M2_signalisation_Suisse_France.jpg)
The main differences relate to
- Graphic design details
- Local regulatory significance
- The colour-coding of directional signs
- Local language texts (sometimes bilingual)
- The meaning and colour-coding of horizontal road surface markings
Graphic differences
[edit]- Warning signs in Ireland are yellow and diamond-shaped (as in the Americas, Australasia, and some east Asian countries), and thus differ from the white or yellow, red-bordered, triangular signs found in the rest of Europe
- The design of individual pictograms (tunnel, pedestrian, car, etc.), while broadly similar, often varies in detail from country to country
- Type of arrows may be different
- Fonts of written words
Differences of directional and informatory signage
[edit]The colour, shape, text style (bold, capitals etc.), or even an additional sign (pictogram, route number, etc.) of the signage give information about the road class of the indicated route.

- ^ Used to indicate locations like regions, city centres, city districts and tourist locations. In reality, there is no clearcut and consistent usage of the white on green signs; for city centres and city districts, black on white signals are often preferred if the roads leading to them are primary roads.
- ^ The directional signs to motorways are white on green, whereas the directional signs on motorways are white on blue. Compare sign F31 of the Belgian Road Code in green (a directional sign to a motorway, but not on a motorway) with the other directional signs in blue (especially F15, F25, F27 and F29, all of which are also used in blue on motorways): "Code de la route - Article 71. Signaux d'indication (F1-F31)". Retrieved 28 September 2021.
- ^ Used for services and objects like stations, hospitals etc. See: Pravilnik o turističkoj i ostaloj signalizaciji na cestama. Retrieved on 2022-08-07.
- ^ Directional signs that are mounted overhead on multi-lane primary roads are white on blue.
- ^ Used to indicate specific directions
- ^ German traffic law does not know the category of "expressways", but there are certain roads commonly referred to as "autobahnähnliche Straßen" ("roads similar to motorways") which, while not being "motorways" in a legal sense, have a very similar profile to motorways. The signs on such roads are not white on blue (like on motorways), but normally black on yellow like on most other primary roads and, in exceptional cases, black on white like on local roads.
- ^ National primary & secondary roads. Route numbers are written in yellow.
- ^ Regional & local roads
- ^ On non-motorways only
- ^ Certain town names may be abbreviated, in this case for Figueira da Foz
- ^ Regional destinations and cardinal directions are written fully in uppercase (e.g. "ALGARVE" or "NORTE"), with the text and background colors being accordingly with the type of road
- ^ Next to AUTOPISTA also used for AUTOVÍA and AUTOBIA
- ^ Vía reservada para automóviles
- ^ vía rápida
- ^ carretera convencional
- ^ There is no expressway class of road in the UK
- ^ Regional destinations consist of upper case cardinal destinations and regions (e.g. "The NORTH" or "The SOUTH WEST") and are only used on motorway and primary road signs
Differences in meanings
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/Sign-1070806%2C_Dingle_Peninsula%2C_Co._Kerry%2C_Ireland.jpg/220px-Sign-1070806%2C_Dingle_Peninsula%2C_Co._Kerry%2C_Ireland.jpg)
- Sometimes similar signs have minor differences in meanings, following the local traffic codes. For example, the Irish "rural speed limit" sign for local tertiary roads takes the appearance of that used to denote the end of all previously signed restrictions used elsewhere in Europe. However this sign, which is always accompanied with a "SLOW" supplementary plate, actually indicates a speed limit of 80 km/h.[2]
- Another example is the United Kingdom's "pass either side" sign, which has a more specific meaning. Unlike many countries, the sign indicates that drivers may pass on either side of an obstacle, such as a traffic island, to reach the same destination.[3]
- All European countries use the metric system (distances in kilometres or metres; speeds in kilometres per hour; heights, widths and lengths in metres; weights in tonnes) with the exception of the United Kingdom, where distances and speeds are still indicated in imperial measurements (miles or yards and miles per hour). Since 2016, on width and height limit signs both metric and imperial measurements are used (metres and feet & inches), however older signs still show imperial-only measurements [citation needed]. Weight limits have been expressed in metric tonnes since 1981, but signs continued to use an upper case "T" until 2011.
Road surface markings
[edit]- Longitudinal lines (lanes and margins) and symbols on the carriageway are always white (but in Norway a yellow line separates two-way traffic and in Ireland edge lines are yellow). Temporary markings are yellow in Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain, but red/orange in Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Russia, and white in the United Kingdom.
- A stop line is always represented by a white thick traversal continuous line, but a give way line may be represented by a white thick dashed line as rectangles (Germany, France, Spain) or by a double-dashed line (United Kingdom) or by a white line of triangles (Austria, Italy, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland). In Ireland, give way markings are represented by a single dashed line; on one way streets and entrances to roundabouts it is instead represented by a combination of a single solid line and a single dashed line.
- A disc (time-limited) parking place is identified by white lines in Germany and by blue lines in Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, France, Spain, and Switzerland. A chargeable parking place is identified by white lines in Germany, France, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, and Switzerland and by blue lines in Italy, Spain and Russia. A parking place reserved for disabled people is bordered in white in Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom; in yellow in Italy, Liechtenstein and Switzerland; and in blue in France. Other reserved parking places (bus, taxis) are bordered with yellow lines in Italy, Liechtenstein, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, but with white lines in Germany.
- The prohibition of roadside parking can be indicated by a yellow continuous line (Spain, the Republic of Ireland, and the United Kingdom), by a yellow dashed line (Austria,[4] the Netherlands and France), by a yellow dashed line with X's (Liechtenstein and Switzerland), a white continuous line (Italy), or else by black-and-white (the Netherlands) or a black-and-yellow (the Netherlands and Italy) kerb markings. Only in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland does a double yellow line (as well as a white zig-zag line in the vicinity of pedestrian crossings) mean "no parking at any time".
- The prohibition of stopping / waiting can be indicated by a yellow continuous line (Austria, the Netherlands, France, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Russia), and in (certain cities of) the United Kingdom by a red continuous line (with double red lines extending the meaning to "no stopping at any time). In the United Kingdom, a yellow zig-zag line near hospitals, police stations, and schools means "no stopping".
Different typefaces in texts
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Icelandic-Road-Sign.png/250px-Icelandic-Road-Sign.png)
- Andorra officially uses the Swiss 721 (Bold Condensed) typeface, which is identical to Helvetica. However, some signs use the Caractères and Carretera Convencional typefaces.
- Austria and Slovakia use the Tern typeface. Austria used the Austria typeface until 2010. Slovakia used the Universal Grotesk typeface from Czechoslovakia era until 2014.

- Estonia uses the Arial Narrow Bold typeface.
- Finland uses a typeface developed in the 1960s by the former national board of roads and waterways.[11]
- France uses the Caractères typeface.
- In the French Basque Country a lighter variant of Helvetica is used for Basque language place names.
- Germany, Czechia and Latvia use the DIN 1451 typeface.
- Greece uses a modified version of the British Transport typeface on most regular roads; motorway signs use a modified version of DIN 1451.
- Hungary does not use a defined typeface as the letters are defined one-by-one in the national regulation.[12] The typeface resembles the DIN 1451 typeface closely.
- Italy, Albania and San Marino use the Alfabeto Normale typeface (with the narrow variant Alfabeto Stretto), a heavier version of the British Transport typeface.
- Luxembourg uses the Helvetica, Caractères and SNV typefaces, often inconsistently.
- The Netherlands uses typefaces derived from FHWA typeface: ANWB/RWS Cc (narrow), Dd (medium) and Ee (wide).
- Norway uses the Trafikkalfabetet typeface.
- Poland does not use a defined typeface as the letters are defined one-by-one in the national regulation.[13] There are three typefaces resembling the defined one, with two of them distributed as non-commercial freeware – Drogowskaz and Tablica drogowa typefaces. The third one, fully compliant with the regulation is available only for road signs making companies.
- Spain uses the Carretera Convencional (also known as CCRIGE) typeface, which is derived from the British Transport typeface, and is almost identical to the Italian Alfabeto Normale. Until 2014, Autopista (derived from FHWA series E modified) was used for motorways.
- Sweden and Åland use the Tratex typeface. Åland formerly used the Finnish typeface in mixture with Tratex.
- Switzerland and Liechtenstein use the ASTRA-Frutiger typeface since 2003.
- Turkey uses two typefaces derived from the FHWA typeface. O-Serisi is used for motorways and E-Serisi is used for all other roads.
- The United Kingdom, Iceland, Ireland, Malta and Portugal use the Transport typeface. An oblique variant of Transport is used in Ireland for Irish text.
- Motorway typeface is used for route numbers on United Kingdom and Ireland motorways, and for exit and route numbers in Portugal.
In Albania, Armenia, Andorra, Belarus, Czechia, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece (partly), Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Monaco, Russia, San Marino and Sweden, destinations on direction signs are written in capital letters. In Ireland, they are written in all-capital letters in English and in mixed-case letters in Irish. In Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Greece (partly), Hungary, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine both capital and lowercase are used. In Spain, destinations reached by motorway are written in capital and lowercase, while those reached by other roads are written in capital letters. In the United Kingdom and Portugal, regional destinations names and cardinal directions are written in capital letters, while the remaining destinations names are written in capital and lowercase.

De-restriction
[edit]Built-up area limits
[edit]Under the Vienna Convention the begin and end built-up area signs imply a change between built-up area and rural traffic rules including speed limit. In many European countries the dark background with light coloured text version of the sign is intended for information only.[17] Poland uses white text on a green background (E-17a/E18a) to show the political boundary of a place as information and uses the black on white pictogram version (D-42/D-43) to designate the change of traffic rules.[18]

Notes
[edit]- ^ For mini-roundabouts
- ^ Plate below danger sign reads one of either: German: Nebel, French: brouillard, Italian: nebbia
- ^ Used with an exceptions supplementary plate.
- ^ a b c d Also applies to mopeds with a maximum design speed of 25 km/h.
- ^ Also applies to sets of axles not more than 1 metre apart.
- ^ a b Mini-roundabouts only.
- ^ Always produced on non-urban roads, in urban settings only, if badly visible; mandatory priority given to pedestrians – always applicable on any pedestrian crossings even without sign.
- ^ The square tunnel sign is used in advance of and at the entrance of the tunnel. The colour of the tunnel sign containing the tunnel name depends on the classification of the route where it is placed.
- ^ Indicates hospital with emergency station open 7/24.
- ^ Means only presence of hospital, rest home, or the like. Is an educated indication to be quiet and to drive carefully.
- ^ The sign may be rectangular or circular, colours can be varied and the names and logos of bus operators may be added.
- ^ The circular sign is used to indicate on-street parking, while the square-shaped sign indicates off-street parking.
- ^ a b May only be used with an appropriate warning sign.
- ^ Green for national roads and white for regional and local roads.
- ^ The presence of an entry sign of a town or village is often accompanied with a speed limit; normally the generally valid speed limit of 50 km/h. Sign no. 2.30.1
- ^ The name above the horizontal line is the name of the next village or town (not the name of the current place), the name(s) below the line mention the next major settlement(s), and optionally, the distance to them.
