Road signs in Denmark

This is a list of road signs in Denmark. Road signs in Denmark are regulated by the Road Traffic Act (Færdselsloven).^[1] The design and definitions of road signs is delegated to the executive, according to §95 ¶1 of the Road Traffic Act.^[1] The executive, in this case the Danish minister of transport (transportministeren), issues executive orders on the subject. The latest executive orders were issued on April 13, 2023^[2]^[3]

Denmark signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on November 8, 1968 and ratified it on November 3, 1986.^[4] Denmark has ratified the European Agreement supplementing the Convention on road traffic as well.^[5]

Road signs are divided into two main categories, which are traffic signs and direction- / tourist information signs:^{[fn 1]}

Traffic signs are: ^{[fn 2]}

Warning signs

Outside built-up^{[fn 5]} areas, warning signs, except A18, A35, A74, A75 and A92^{[fn 6]}, are usually placed from 150m to 250m before the danger. If the warning signs are placed at a different distance, the distance is shown on a subpanel. Inside built-up^{[fn 5]} areas, warning signs can be placed at a shorter distance from the danger, without the distance being shown on a subpanel.
