# Road signs in India

Road signs in India can vary in design, depending on the location. For the most part, they tend to closely follow European practices, usually identical with the United Kingdom or the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, although yellow rectangular signs that do carry such messages like "Be gentle on my curves" and "Danger creeps when safety sleeps" are present nationwide. Road signs in India are metric.
The official typeface for road signs in India is Transport. Though sometimes, road signs may use hand-painted fonts, but some road signs in India also unofficially use Arial or Highway Gothic.
Most urban roads and state highways have signs in the state language and English. National highways have signs in the state language, Hindi and English.
