Illustration of the road signs in France

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article or section needs to be revised: Original terms in French are missing, so the value of such an illustration is low (e.g. the original terms are required for further research.) It is also problematic that terms are often used that only in Germany - i.e. not even in Austria or in (also French-speaking) Switzerland - are common.
Please help to improve it , and then remove this flag.

The illustration of the road signs in France shows a selection of the currently valid road signs in France . The form and design of the traffic signs are based on the guidelines and templates of the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic Signs .
