Road signs in Belgium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Road signs in Belgium are defined in the Royal Decree of 1 December 1975 on general regulations for the road traffic police and in the use of public highways.[1] They generally conform to the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.[2] The official typeface on road signs in Belgium is SNV.[3]
Belgium signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on November 8, 1968, and ratified it on November 16, 1988.[4]
