Road signs in Montenegro are regulated in Pravilnik o saobraćajnoj signalizaciji.^[1]

The road signs in Montenegro follow the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, and the former Yugoslav standard road signs, used by the successor states of SFR Yugoslavia. Since Serbia and Montenegro were one state from 1992 to 2006 after the breakup of Yugoslavia, road signs in Montenegro are mostly similar to Serbian ones, except that the inscriptions are only written in Latin script. Following Montenegro's declaration of independence in 2006, the country's own road sign standard was adopted. With the adoption of the Constitution of Montenegro in 2007, in which the newly formed Montenegrin was promoted as an "official language", all public inscriptions, including road signs, began to be written in Latin script.^[2] Despite the equality of the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets in Montenegro, as stated in the country’s Constitution, inscriptions on road signs are written exclusively in Latin script.

The SNV typeface is used on Montenegrin road signs as well as in other former Yugoslav states, Bulgaria and Romania. In Switzerland, the SNV typeface was also used on road signs before being replaced with the ASTRA-Frutiger typeface in 2003.

The former Yugoslavia had originally signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on November 8, 1968 and ratified it on June 6, 1977.^[3] Yugoslavia formerly used a yellow background on warning signs. After Montenegro declared its independence, the country succeeded to the Vienna Convention on October 23, 2006.

Warning signs

Warning signs (Serbo-Croatian: Znakovi opasnosti) are used to warn road users of the danger that threatens them in a certain place, or part of the road, and to inform them about the nature of that danger. Warning signs are predominantly red and white in color.

Order signs

Order signs (Serbo-Croatian: Znakovi izričitih naredbi) inform road users of prohibitions, restrictions and obligations that must be adhered to. This category includes priority signs "Stop sign", "Give Way", "Yield to oncoming traffic", prohibitory and mandatory signs.

Information signs

Information signs (Serbo-Croatian: Znakovi obavještenja) are placed in such a way that they provide traffic participants with advance notifications, notifications about realignment, notifications about turning, notifications about the direction of movement, as well as to mark the object, terrain, street or parts of the road to which they refer.
