Road signs in Croatia are regulated in the Ordinance on traffic signs, signaling and equipment on roads (). The shape and design of the road signs largely follow the road signs used in most European countries.
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. Yugoslavia formerly used a yellow background on warning signs. After the breakup of Yugoslavia when Croatia declared its independence in 1991, the country succeeded to the Vienna Convention on November 2, 1993.
Croatian signs use the () for the text on their signs, derived from the SNV typeface.
