Road signs in the Netherlands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dutch warning ducks crossing signs

The road signs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (the Netherlands and six Dutch Caribbean islands), as well as Suriname,[1] are regulated in the Reglement verkeersregels en verkeerstekens 1990, commonly abbreviated as RVV 1990. While most previous signage, from the RVV 1966 (Dutch) remained legal and official, they have been updated / replaced. Some aren't official anymore and have lost legal validity, but most surviving old signs remained valid.
