Spain Road Signs

Road signs of Spain are based on European Union regulations so that they are, if not the same, similar in all countries of the EU (Vienna Convention). Due to the importance of road safety, there is an international agreement to maintain the same format in vertical signage. Thus, although each country makes slight variations in the type of signals, the most important signals remain in common: stop, give way, etc. Speed limit signs are the same throughout Europe as well as the indication signs.
