Road signs in North Macedonia follow the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, and the former Yugoslav standard road signs, used by the successor states of SFR Yugoslavia. North Macedonia adopted its own road sign standard after the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia gained its independence from Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. Inscriptions on road signs can be both in Cyrillic and Latin, as well as in Albanian. The SNV typeface and Arial Bold typeface are used on Macedonian road signs.

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 the Republic of Macedonia declared its independence in 1991, the country succeeded to the Vienna Convention on December 20, 1999 (initially under the name Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,[3] but since 2019 under the name North Macedonia after the long-term dispute over the name of the Republic of Macedonia between Greece and the former Yugoslav Republic was resolved by renaming the latter one to North Macedonia).
