Road signs in Moldova

Road signs in Moldova are regulated primarily by Government Decision No. 357 of May 13, 2009, which approved the Road Traffic Regulations (Romanian: Regulamentul circulației rutiere).^[1] After gaining independence from the USSR in 1991, Moldova started adapting its own road signage system. Moldova acceded to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on 8 October 2015.^[2]^[3]
