Road signs in Ukraine

Ukravtodor also posted an edited photo of a standard road sign in which directions to nearby cities have been replaced with Russian-language profanities.

[3][4] In the territories of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts occupied by Russia in 2022, Ukrainian-language road signs were removed by the Russians and replaced with Russian-language ones.

Warning signs (Ukrainian: Попереджувальні знаки) are an upward-pointing red triangle, with white backgrounds and black pictograms.

Prohibitory signs (Ukrainian: Заборонні знаки) regulate the use of the road based on movement, classes of vehicles, or other restrictions.

Mandatory signs (Ukrainian: Наказові знаки) instruct drivers on actions they must take or obey, or may mark types of vehicles permitted to use the road.

Information signs (Ukrainian: Інформаційно-вказівні знаки) describe conditions of the road and area that do not require a danger warning, mandatory instruction or prohibition.

However, the Soviet-style road signs and the typeface specified in the Soviet GOST 10807-78 standard may still be used in inscriptions despite the fact that the modern DSTU 4100:2021 is adopted.
