Topic: Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals


  
  Traffic sign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1926 road sign standards similar to those used in the UK at the time were adopted, albeit with Irish (Gaelic) type in addition to English.
In 1956, road signs in the south were changed to markedly differ from the UK standard with the adoption of US-style "diamond" signs for many road hazard warnings (junctions, bends, railway crossings, traffic lights).
It is gradually moving toward internationally-accepted signs; it abandoned, for example, a localised version of the "no parking sign" (with a Hanzi character) and used the blue-red cross sign as of the late 1990s.

Signs showing “darker” background colours, such as blue, green or red are required to have white or yellow lettering and symbols.
Further sign background colours are also coded, for example yellow or orange for temporary deviation signing, yellow for temporary roadwork signs or brown for tourist signs.
The current world-wide international “code” for these different categories of signs is described in the legal documents widely referred to as the “Vienna” Conventions, the latest versions of which entered into force in September 1993 (Road Traffic rules) and October 1995 (Road signs and Signals).

 Multilateral treaties deposited with the Secretary-General- TREATY I-XI-B-151.asp
Article 10 (6) of the Convention on Road Signs and Signals is applied with the exception that the sign B, 2a is announced in advance by the sign B, 1 supplemented by a rectangular panel bearing the symbol "STOP" and a figure indicating the distance to sign B, 2a.
The provisions of article 38 of the Convention, as such, are anachronistic and are not in conformity with the principles of contemporary international law or the present state of international relations, and they are at variance with the United Nations General Assembly resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960.
The advance warning sign for sign B, 2a shall be sign B, 1, supplemented by a rectangular panel bearing the word "Stop" and a figure indicating the distance to sign B, 2a.
