Illustration of the road signs in Iceland

The picture table of the traffic signs in Iceland shows the officially introduced and currently valid traffic signs in Iceland . In terms of shape and design, the majority of the traffic signs are based on the guidelines and templates of the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic Signs , although the Icelandic Convention has not yet been signed. For reasons of comprehensibility, the traffic signs mainly consist of well-known pictograms . Some characters also have terms in Icelandic.

The list is based on Regulation No. 289/1995, namely Reglugerð um umferðarmerki og notkun þeirra . It was supplemented by further ordinances from 1998 to 2009. The traffic sign catalog is divided into the categories listed below.
