As Italy is a signing member of the Vienna Convention, many of the danger signs, priority signs, and prohibitory signs that are used throughout the country are standardized. You will also find road signs in Italy that do not conform to standards, as they only apply to Italian roads and customs, and are sometimes written in Italian. Below are some examples of road signs that are only found in Italy.
