 | This article includes a list of general references, but it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. (June 2012) |
Despite an apparent uniformity and standardisation, European traffic signs present relevant differences between countries. However most European countries refer to the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals — adopted in Europe by Albania, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and Ukraine (Except Moldova, Spain, Ireland and the UK).
Differences between European traffic signs
Main differences are related to
- graphic differences
- differences in meanings
- the use of a different colour-code scheme
- local language texts (sometimes bilingual)
Graphic differences
- Warning signs in Ireland have a diamond shape with a yellow background in place of the standard triangular shape. This sign type is common to North America, Oceania, and some Asian countries, but is not found elsewhere in Europe.
- Many pictograms (tunnel, pedestrian, car, etc.) are quite different in many countries.
- Type of arrows may be different.
- Fonts of written words
Different typefaces in texts
These are incomplete. You can help by adding missing countries or fonts.
- Austria uses the TERN font.
- Belarus uses the Micig font
- Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Slovenia and Serbia use the SNV font.
- Cyprus, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Portugal and the United Kingdom use the Transport font. (Motorway font is used on United Kingdom motorways)
- Denmark uses the Dansk Vejtavleskrift font.
- Estonia and Moldova uses the Arial Narrow Bold in mixture with Helvetica font.
- France uses the Caractères font.
- Germany and Czech Republic use the DIN 1451 font.
- Hungary doesn't use any predefined typeface as the letters are defined one-by-one in the national regulation.[1]
- Italy uses the Alfabeto normale font (with the narrow variant Alfabeto stretto).
- Netherlands, Spain, Turkey and Ukraine use the FHWA font.
- Norway uses the Trafikkalfabetet font.
- Poland uses the Drogowskaz font.
- Russia and Belarus uses the font accordance to ГОСТ 10807-78 (with addition of ГОСТ Р 52290-2004), but Arial Cyr Bold font also allowed to use.
- Slovakia uses the Universal Grotesk font.
- Sweden uses the Tratex font.
- Switzerland uses the Frutiger font.
Different colour codes
Warning signs
- In most European countries, it is indicated by red borders and a white background.
- An amber background is used in Sweden, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Finland, Iceland, the Republic of Macedonia and Poland (in some other countries it means a provisional road work sign).
- Also, the yield sign/give way sign in Sweden, Serbia, Croatia, Finland, and Poland has a yellow background.
Road works/construction
- Many countries normally have adopted an orange or amber background.
- A yellow background is used in France, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal and Romania.
Motorways
- White texts on a blue background is used in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain and United Kingdom.
- White texts on a green background is used in Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.
Primary roads/Expressways
- White-on-blue (the same as motorways) is used in Belgium, Latvia and Netherlands.
- White-on-blue is used in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden and Switzerland.
- White-on-green is used in France, Hungary, Ireland, Poland, Portugal and United Kingdom.
- Black-on-yellow is used in Croatia, Germany, Luxembourg, Norway, Serbia and Slovenia.
- Red-on-white is used in Denmark (though white-on-blue on motorway exits and all overhead gantries)
- Black-on-white is used in Austria and Spain.
Secondary roads
- Black-on-white is used in Estonia, Finland, France, Ireland, Portugal, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
- In Bulgaria, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Sweden, black-on-white indicates only urban roads or urban destinations.
Differences in meanings
- Sometimes similar signs have little differences in meanings, following the local traffic codes.[citation needed]
- All European countries use the metric system (distances in kilometres or metres, speeds in kilometres per hour, heights/widths in metres) with the exception of the United Kingdom, where distances, speeds (miles per hour), heights/widths are still indicated in imperial measurements (miles, yards, feet, and inches) though motorway locator signs are in km plus weights are in tonnes and heights are in metres as well.
