Road signs in Saudi Arabia

**Road signs in Saudi Arabia** are regulated by the Saudi Highway Code (SHC) 602, which was published as part of the government program Saudi Vision 2030 in 2023. Road signs in Saudi Arabia follow the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, to which it acceded on March 31, 2022, and display text in both Arabic and English. Distances are displayed in metric units and in Eastern Arabic numerals.

According to SHC 602, Arabic text should be rendered in the Naskh script, while the Transport typeface should be used for English text. Prior to this manual, Highway Gothic was used for English text.
