Road signs in San Marino are regulated by Codice della strada del 2008, and are established by article 28 of it.[1] Road signs in San Marino have the same shapes and colors as those used in Italy due to the country being entirely surrounded by Italy. They are divided into:
- Warning signals;
- Priority signs;
- Level crossing signs;
- Prescription signs with the exception of those concerning the right of way, stop and parking;
- Indication signs;
- Signs concerning stops and parking;
- Signs of integration.
