ArmInfo. Armenia will apply international standards of road signs and signals The National Assembly of Armenia at the meeting on February 8 ratified the international convention on road signs and signals (with reservation).
As the First Deputy Minister of Transport, Communications and Information Technologies of the Republic of Armenia Gagik Grigoryan noted, the convention was signed on November 8, 1968 in Vienna, and is aimed at the international unification of road signs and improving the level of road safety.
According to the convention, Armenia undertakes to replace in its territory, no later than four years, all the signs, signs, adaptations, markings that must be brought into line with international standards stipulated in the convention. It is also planned to install warning signs, with the exception of signs placed near intersections or railway crossings, as well as signs regulating the priority right of way at intersections, warning signs placed near intersections, and signs regulating the priority right of way on narrow sections of roads. To solve this task, Armenia will have a 15-year term. The document presents signs relating to railroad crossings, signs indicating a mandatory prescription, with the exception of signs relating to the priority right of way, stopping and parking, signs, with the exception of signs relating to the parking lot. Additional signs, road markings, color images of signs, signs and plates are also provided.
One year later of the convention entering into power, each contracting party may propose one or more amendments to the document. At present, 65 states are parties to the convention. Having ratified the document, Armenia will make the transition from Soviet standards of road signs and signals to modern international standards. However, as Grigoryan noted, the standards in force in Armenia do not differ much from international ones. He stressed that an annual inventory of road signs and signals is conducted in Armenia.
