Road signs in Belarus
Overview of road signs in Belarus / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Road signs in Belarus are regulated by the СТБ 1140-2013 standard.[1] Due to the country being a former Soviet Socialist Republic between 1920 and 1991, road signs are similar in design to those used in the Soviet Union before its dissolution in 1991, as well as in most other post-Soviet states, especially neighboring Russia and Ukraine. Like Russia and Ukraine, Belarus is a signatory to the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic and the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.[2] Belarus signed the Vienna Convention on 8 November 1968 and ratified it on 18 June 1974, when it was a Soviet Socialist Republic.[3] The Soviet Union itself was once a signatory to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.[4]
