European road sign doccumentation

Post by Nathan_A_RF »

I'd like to collate as many road sign diagrams/documentation for each European country for usage in game development for a mod for ETS2. For example, stuff like this would be appreciated: https://www.gov.uk/government/collectio ... d-markings

Germany: not the full working drawings, but high-resolution images can be downloaded from the BASt (the first link gets you to a list of downloads). The vector files can be ordered from the same page for 250 Euros + VAT, which makes me think they're not freely available on the internet.

Switzerland: grab the Signalisationsverordnung PDF, the signs in there are vector graphics so you can open the relevant pages in programs like inkscape and scale them to any resolution you want.
The list of norms containing the detailed drawings is here but they're not available for free as far as I know.

The French-language Wikipedia -- particularly such entries as https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panneau_d ... Dimensions -- is worth exploring for external links like this one.

Every individual sign (AFAIK) has its own page too: see, for example

* https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panneau_d ... _en_France
* https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panneau_d ... _en_France
* https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panneau_d ... _en_France

etc.

Some information on road-sign dimensions in Italy here:
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segnaleti ... ostruttive.

Sweden: downloadable files
1. Click on icons of sign groups (A, B, C...) here: https://www.transportstyrelsen.se/sv/va ... Vagmarken/
2. Then click on individual sign icons (e.g. B3) here: https://www.transportstyrelsen.se/sv/va ... ktsmarken/
3. Scroll down for file links

Which is fine, until they get used for target practice by bandits.

Czech Republic:
Wikipedia article gives general dimensions:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_sign ... h_Republic
A sign manufacturer's site here, seems to confirm Wiki sizes but no more detail:http://www.dopravniznaceni.com/dopravni-znacky
I'm still looing for the actual government specification, "Decree number 30/2001 Sb., many times amended, and replaced by decree 294/2015 Sb" according to Wikipedia.

There is a comment about Czech signs using realistic figures, not stylised ones, but it obviously must include fictional figures. This is clearly Niles Crane...

Note: A new road traffic act will be effective as of Jun 1st, 2020. Many signs will be slightly changed (new arrowheads, gender-neutral pictograms). A few new signs will be introduced, too.
