Road signs in Morocco

Road signs in Morocco are regulated under a joint decree by the Ministry of Equipment, Transport and Logistics and the Ministry of Interior, published in the. A further joint decree in 2019 strengthened the legal system in relation to road signs. They are also laid out in the General Instruction on Road Signage. They are broadly similar to those formerly and currently used in France, and are compliant with the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, to which Morocco acceded on 29 December 1982.

Design

Directional signage bears some similarity to former French and subsequently. Other signage, such as warning and regulatory, is quite similar to those used in France today, in particular the symbols used on these signs.
In 2019, following the joint decree, the colour of symbols and text on white backgrounds was changed from dark blue to black, following the practice of that in Europe and the rest of the Maghreb.
Road signs in Morocco generally appear in Arabic and French, and are generally bilingual. Tamazight is also used, particularly on motorway signage. Bilingual signs in Arabic and Tamazight began being installed on motorways in 2015, where it replaced French. In some cases signs containing all three languages can be seen.
Arabic text uses the ASV Codar typeface, Latin text uses the Caractères typeface and Tifinagh text uses the Tifinaghe-Izuren IRCAM typeface.
