Road signs in Brazil

Road signs in Brazil is regulated by Código de Trânsito Brasileiro, the law about transportation in Brazil. Conselho Nacional de Trânsito (lit. 'Council of National Transportation'; abbr. Contran) is responsible to it.

Brazil signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on November 8, 1968, but has yet to fully ratify it.
