Road signs in Turkmenistan
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Nyyazow-Turkmenistan-city-limit-sign.png/220px-Nyyazow-Turkmenistan-city-limit-sign.png)
Road signs in Turkmenistan are similar to the road sign system of other post-Soviet states (e.g. Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan) that ensure that transport vehicles move safely and orderly, as well as to inform the participants of traffic built-in graphic icons. They generally conform to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.[1] Turkmenistan acceded to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on June 14, 1993.[2]
Road signs in Turkmenistan are based on the ГОСТ 10807-78[3][4] and ГОСТ 23457-86 Soviet standards (both of them are no longer valid in Russia) and are defined in Ýol hereketi we howpsuzlygy but with inscriptions in Turkmen language and in Latin script only.[5] However, there are road signs in Turkmenistan that are similar in design to Turkish ones and the FHWA or Arial typeface is used.[6] Road signs in Turkmenistan are a mix of post-Soviet and Turkish road sign systems.
Road signs are divided into 7 categories:
# | Category name | Category name (in Turkmen) |
---|---|---|
1 | Warning signs | Duýduryjy belgiler |
2 | Priority signs | Artykmaçlyk beriji belgiler |
3 | Prohibitory signs | Gadagan ediji belgiler |
4 | Mandatory signs | Buýrujy belgiler |
5 | Information signs | Habardar ediji – görkeziji belgiler |
6 | Service signs | Hyzmat belgileri |
7 | Additional panels | Goşmaça maglumat belgileri (tabliçkalar) |
