Which countries have signed the treaty? This is a suggestion for improvement. Mrs.EasterBunny 01:43, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
The link to "Detailed illustrations of signs and signals based on the convention" does indeed work; but most of the pages it links to, are outdated years back.130.226.45.152 (talk) 18:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
The images seem to show yellow traffic lights instead of amber. In the UK we have amber, and the text of the article says it should be amber. 86.164.255.159 (talk)
A problem with this article is that it doesn't make any attempt to indicate how far the signage practices in non-signatory states follow, or are influenced by, the Convention. 86.164.255.159 (talk)
Claim is made, without link to evidence, that:
"The only countries in Europe that did not ratify this convention are Ireland, United Kingdom and Spain. This is one of the reasons why the road signage's quality and quantity in this countries is remarkably lower than in the rest of them."
I have deleted the claim about poor signage quality and quantity, which edit I suggest should not be reversed unless a link to confirmation can be provided.
- I write as a road user from one of the above countries, whose experience is that the quantity of road signs (if nothing else) is if anything excessive - indeed, in at least one of the listed countries (mine), courts will accept "forest of signs" (i.e., too many road signs to assimilate at normal travelling speed) as a valid defense when a motorist faces prosecution for disobeying sign posted instructions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.174.2.196 (talk) 01:38, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
This seems to be what the alternate rule will allow, but I have never seen a similar image. Hope I got the drawing right. knoodelhed (talk) 02:31, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
I have reverted L.tak's change back to 74. If you count the list of countries on the same link, there are 74 countries which are signed to the Convention. Fry1989 eh? 23:00, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
The "additional" green light is not mentioned in the article (see CONVENTION ON ROAD SIGNS AND SIGNALS, article 23, paragraph 10).
In addition, the meaning of flashing amber light is not accurate - according to Convention "A single amber flashing light or two amber lights flashing alternately shall mean that drivers may proceed but shall do so with particular care." I.e., it has the same meaning as well as the green light. Ekruh (talk) 13:31, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
What about Pedestrian light?
Red flashing lights may only be used at the locations specified above; any other use of the lights is in breach of the convention.
In many countries, Don't Walk lights flash red, meaning "Stop if possible". Tabletop (talk) 08:44, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}
).

Anybody know how many countries use circular stop signs, and why this was included in the standard? I've traveled in quite a few countries, but never seen any like that.
Just seems odd that a treaty to *standardize* signs would allow something so basic as a stop sign to be *anything other* than a red octagon with white letters... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:CA:83C4:C000:A4:5DB7:EBDD:7227 (talk) 19:51, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
The text of the article says that "The only countries in Europe that are not signatories to the Convention are [...] the United Kingdom". At the same time, the article map clearly show the UK as light green, meaning it is a signatory. So, which is it? 94.255.211.171 (talk) 18:26, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
