Road signs in Saudi Arabia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
The factual accuracy of part of this article is disputed. The dispute is about the fact that the signs seem to be copied from other countries such as the UK and Europe, which don't confirm to Saudi norms. For example, the fonts aren't the same, and the comma is not used as the decimal separator in English even in Saudi Arabia.. (July 2024) |
