Road signs

Since 1987, road signs in Sakiland have been influenced by the American MUTCD signs, Canadian signs, European signs and Japanese signs. These 1987 signs replaced the older 1974 signs that have been used from the start of trilingualism.

## Features

Features of Sakiland's road signs include:

* Yellow signs are in use for warnings
* Fluorescent yellow-green signs are in use for school zones and pedestrian crossings
* Orange signs are in use for temporary warnings, such as road work zones
* Fluorescent pink signs are in use for incident management, like in the United States
* Speed limits are blue numerals inscribed inside a red circle, like in Japan (minimum speed limits have the numeric limit underlined)
* Reduced speeds, such as night speed limits, have red numerals inscribed inside a red circle
* The speed derestriction sign is the same as Japan, except it is on a rectangular sign
* Regulatory signs are black on white
* Other prohibitory signs are black icons or text on a red circle and crossed out
* Road distances use metric units
* Speed limits in Sakiland are always in kilometres per hour (km/h)
* Railway crossing crossbucks are the same as Canada
* The stop sign, however, instead of displaying words in three languages, conveys its meaning through the depiction of a raised hand
* The yield sign is wordless.

## 1974-1987 signs

The 1974-1987 signs had big differences, including:

* No speed limit circle
* Speed limit signs were rectangular as in the United States, but with the legend "SPEED LIMIT" absent
* The stop sign was an inverted triangle and was bilingual (and in the same design as Japan that has been in use since 2016)
* Warning signs were black on white and were diamond-shaped.
* Most signs were hand-painted.

## Notes

1. ↑ The American-style one way sign is used, however it uses the numeral "1" instead of the words "ONE WAY".
2. ↑ The text on the yield sign inside the white band usually displays "1/2", where "1" refers to one vehicle must yield to the other traffic on the other lane. The numeral "2" on the bottom denotes two lanes.
