Information, Facility, and Service Signs


The Vienna Convention has relatively few guidelines for the format of information and service signs. Signs are often blue or green, with no specified border color. These signs will indicate upcoming gasoline service stations, parking areas, restaurants, as well as indicators for tourism offices. These serve to assist when a particular facility is needed while driving.

Examples of information, facility and service signs:

Fuel Station The next exit or turn will have a nearby filling station.
Restaurant The next exit or turn will have access to restaurants.
Sidewalk Parking Ok Parking is allowed on the sidewalk of the posted area.
Restrooms The next exit or turn will have restroom and bathroom facilities. In most countries abroad, W.C. usually refers to "water closet" when referring to a bathroom.
Tourist Info The next exit or turn will have an office for tourism information.
