Road signs in Serbia
The road signs, used on the Serbian road network, are regulated by the "Regulation of Traffic Signs" (Serbian Cyrillic: Правилник о саобраћајној сигнализацији, Serbian Latin: Pravilnik o saobraćajnoj signalizaciji, which was last time modified in 2017.[1]
The road signs follow the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals of 1968, and the former Yugoslav standard road signs, used by the successor states of SFR Yugoslavia. Inscriptions are in both Cyrilic and Latin alphabets and use the SNV typeface. They are also used in Kosovo,[a] although some of these signs were superseded by the Albanian road sign system, itself a copy of the Italian road sign system. In Montenegro, these road signs are only written in the Latin script.

Serbia (and also the rest of former Yugoslavia) uses a slightly different color-coding system for routes, compared to most European nations. Along with Germany and Norway, the former Yugoslav countries are the only ones to use black text on yellow for non-roadworks purposes. The color coding is as such:
Panel background | Border | Lettering | Usage |
---|---|---|---|
Green | White | White | Motorways |
Blue | White | White | Expressways |
Yellow | Black | Black | State (trunk) roads |
Brown | White | White | Recreational attractions |
White | Black | Black | Inner-city destinations |

Notes[]
- ^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008. Serbia continues to claim it as a part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognised as an independent state by 97 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 112 UN member states have recognised Kosovo at some point, of which 15 states later withdrew their recognition.
