Denmark signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on and ratified it on. Denmark has ratified the European Agreement supplementing the Convention on road traffic as well.
Road signs are divided into two main categories, which are traffic signs and direction / tourist information signs.

Warning signs

Outside built-up areas, warning signs, except A18, A35, A74, A75 and A92, are usually placed from 150m to 250m before the danger. If the warning signs are placed beyond this distance, the distance is shown on a [|subpanel]. Inside built-up areas, warning signs can be placed at a shorter distance from the danger, without the distance being shown on a subpanel.

Distance and locality signs

Signs used on motorways

On motorways, direction signs have blue background when they lead to the ordinary road network, via an exit from the motorway, Directions have green background when they lead to the destination via the motorway.

Route designations

A broken line around the number means the road connects to the route with that number.

Service signs

New service signs are designed when they are required, for example by request from a business. Proposed additions include "electrician" and "real estate agent".

Additional subpanels

These signs can be placed below traffic and direction signs. Subpanels with blue background are combined with signs that have blue background, and subpanels with white background with signs that have white background. The signs can for instance be used below parking restriction signs to indicate which time of day, what day of the week or the duration of parking for which the restriction applies,
