Road signs in Montenegro

Road signs in Montenegro are regulated in the Ordinance on Traffic Signals (Pravilnik o saobraćajnoj signalizaciji).^[1]

Bilingual signs in Ulcinj.

Road signs in Montenegro 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. Since Serbia and Montenegro were one state from 1992 to 2006 after the breakup of Yugoslavia, road signs in Montenegro are mostly similar to Serbian ones, except that the inscriptions are only written in Latin script. Following Montenegro's declaration of independence in 2006, the country's own road sign standard was adopted. With the adoption of the Constitution of Montenegro in 2007, in which the newly formed Montenegrin was promoted as an "official language", all public inscriptions, including road signs, began to be written in Latin script.^[2] Despite the equality of the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets in Montenegro, as stated in the country’s Constitution, inscriptions on road signs are written exclusively in Latin script.

The SNV typeface is used on Montenegrin 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.^[3] Yugoslavia formerly used a yellow background on warning signs. After Montenegro declared its independence, the country succeeded to the Vienna Convention on October 23, 2006.
