Draft:Traffic signs in Commonwealth of Independent States

Traffic signs in the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) are largely modeled on road signs used in the Soviet Union before its dissolution in 1991, as these countries were formerly Union republics of the Soviet Union but with some modifications made in each of these countries. They are generally based on the Soviet standard GOST 10807-78 (Russian: ГОСТ 10807-78), and on the modern Russian standard GOST R 52290-2004 (Russian: ГОСТ Р 52290-2004). They generally conform to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.

The Soviet Union originally signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on 8 November 1968 and ratified it on 7 June 1974 with reservations and declarations made upon signature and confirmed upon ratification.[1][2] Currently, out of the countries of the former Soviet Union, only Belarus, Russia and Ukraine are signatories to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.

Summary

edit

Armenia

edit

Road signs in Armenia are based on the Russian standards GOST 32945-2014, GOST R 52289-2019 and GOST R 52290-2004 and maintain the same design as modern road sign used in Russia.[3][4][5] Inscriptions on road signs are written in both Armenian and English, including the "Stop sign" (ԿԱՆԳ kang and STOP).

Azerbaijan

edit

Road signs in Azerbaijan are mostly based on the Soviet standard GOST 10807-78, but with additions. The GOST 10807-78 standard, developed during the Soviet era, is still in force in Azerbaijan.[6] Azerbaijan acceded to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on February 22, 2011.[1] At the time of accession, Azerbaijan made one reservation and one declaration, the latter in respect of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict which was started in 1988.
