Road signs in Portugal
Road signs in Portugal are governed by the Road Signage Regulation of the Portuguese Republic. The country is an original signatory to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.
They are installed along the road on the right side of the road and are subdivided into warning signs, regulatory signs, subdivided into priority, prohibition, obligation and specific prescription signs, indication signs, subdivided into information signs, pre-signalling, direction, confirmation, location identification, supplementary signs, additional signs and temporary signs. The typefaces used on road signs are derived from the British Transport and Motorway typefaces.
