Road signs in Saudi Arabia

Road signs in Saudi Arabia differ by locale, but they do tend to closely follow European practices with certain distinctions and conform to the general pattern as set out in the Vienna Convention of Road Signs and Signals. Road signs display text in Arabic language and English language.^[1] Distances are displayed in metric units and in Eastern Arabic numerals.

On March 31, 2022, Saudi Arabia acceded to the Vienna Convention of Road Signs and Signals.^[2]
