Draft:Road signs in the European microstates

Road signs in the European microstates Andorra, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City (the Holy See) generally conform to the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals. They largely follow the general European conventions concerning the use of shape and color to indicate their function as well as in most European countries. Out of all the European microstates, only San Marino and the Holy See have signed the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, both of which are entirely surrounded by Italy.

Andorra
Road signs in Andorra maintain the same design as road signs used in Spain.

Liechtenstein
Road signs in Liechtenstein are regulated by the Road Signs Act of 27 December 1979 (Strassensignalisationsverordnung (SSV) vom 27. Dezember 1979, LGBl. 1978 Nr. 18). They maintain the same design as road signs used in Switzerland. Liechtenstein acceded to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on March 2, 2020.

Malta
Road signs in Malta are similar in design to those used in the United Kingdom, as the island nation was a British colony until 1964. However, Italian road signs may appear in Malta. Malta drives on the left.

Monaco
Road signs in Monaco maintain the same design as road signs used in France.

San Marino and Vatican City
Road signs in San Marino and Vatican City maintain the same design as road signs used in Italy. Both San Marino and the Holy See signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on November 8, 1968, and San Marino ratified it on July 20, 1970.

Built-up area limits
Under the Vienna Convention the begin and end built-up area signs imply a change between built-up area and rural traffic rules including speed limit. In many European countries the dark background with light coloured text version of the sign is intended for information only.
