Road signs in Indonesia
Road signs in Indonesia are standardised road signs similar to those used in other nations but with certain distinctions. As a former Dutch colony, until the 1960s road signs in Indonesia closely followed Dutch rules on road signs. Nowadays Indonesian road sign design are a mix of both European and North American road sign features. According to the Ministerial Regulation No. 13/2014 about Traffic Signs,[1] the official typeface for road signs in Indonesia is Clearview. Indonesia formerly used FHWA Series fonts as the designated typeface though the rules are not being implemented properly.
Indonesian road signs use Bahasa Indonesia, the official and the national language of Indonesia. However, English is also used for important public places such as tourist attractions and airports. Bilingual signs can be found in areas with a lot of foreign tourists such as Bali.
Indonesia signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals but have yet to ratify the Convention.
Warning signs
Warning signs warn of possible dangers or unusual conditions ahead and alert motorists on the hazards to expect. Warning signs in Indonesia used to closely follow the MUTCD diamond-shaped with yellow background and black-and-yellow outline but recently they change it to full black outline.
