Road signs in Kyrgyzstan

Road signs in Kyrgyzstan are similar to the road sign system of other post-Soviet states (e.g. Kazakhstan) that ensure that transport vehicles move safely and orderly, as well as to inform the participants of traffic built-in graphic icons. These icons are governed by the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic and Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.

Road signs of Kyrgyzstan are in many ways similar to road signs in Russia as they are regulated by Russian standards ГОСТ Р 52289-2019, ГОСТ Р 52290-2004 and the interstate standard ГОСТ 32945-2014.[1][2][3] The only exception is that inscriptions on road signs are in Kyrgyz and/or Russian, in accordance with the official languages of Kyrgyzstan. Road signs in Kyrgyzstan are divided into 8 categories, as in Russia:

  1. Warning signs (Предупреждающие знаки);
  2. Priority signs (Знаки приоритета);
  3. Prohibitory signs (Запрещающие знаки);
  4. Mandatory signs (Предписывающие знаки);
  5. Special regulations signs (Знаки особых предписаний);
  6. Information signs (Информационные знаки);
  7. Service signs (Знаки сервиса);
  8. Additional signs (tables) (Знаки дополнительной информации (таблички)).
