Road signs in Romania
Road signs in Romania are regulated in Regulamentul de aplicare a Ordonanţei de urgenţă privind circulaţia pe drumurile publice.[1]
The shape and design of the road signs largely follow the road signs used in most European countries, including European Union countries (France, Germany, Italy etc.), to which Romania joined in 2007. Romania is a signatory to the 1968 Vienna Convention of Road Signs and Signals and the 1971 European Agreement supplementing it.[2] Romania signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on November 8, 1968 and ratified it on December 9, 1980.[3]
