Road signs in Croatia
Road signs in Croatia are regulated in the Ordinance on traffic signs, signaling and equipment on roads (Croatian: Pravilnik o prometnim znakovima signalizaciji i opremi na cestama).[1] The shape and design of the road signs largely follow the road signs used in most European countries.
The former Yugoslavia had originally signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on November 8, 1968, and ratified it on June 6, 1977.[2] Yugoslavia formerly used a yellow background on warning signs. After the breakup of Yugoslavia when Croatia declared its independence in 1991, the country succeeded to the Vienna Convention on November 2, 1993.
Croatian signs use the Hrvatsko cestovno pismo (lit. 'Croatian road font') for the text on their signs, derived from the SNV typeface.[1]
