Road signs in Macau

Traffic sign in Macau

Road signs in Macau are regulated in Regulamento do Trânsito Rodoviário and standardised by Secretary for Transport and Public Works. Due to being a former Portuguese territory, the road signage in Macau is similar to road signs used in Portugal until 1998, with the addition of Traditional Chinese characters and some road signs reversed to reflect driving on the left. After the transfer of sovereignty over Macau in 1999, the old style of Portuguese road signs was retained and still used. Road signs generally comply with the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals. Macau drives on the left.
